Whoo Hoo!! A competition at Magneto bold too!
Yeah baby!
Wadda we win?
Well, um, it’s like this…… nothing.
But you get to have the honour of naming the latest edition to the family.
(not one of the hordes of Emo teenagers that seem to have no home, I just call them Thing 1, Thing 2 etcetera etcetera….. except for the ones with eating disorders, they are known as Fat Arse 1 and Fat Arse 2)
We are getting a fluffy bunny on the weekend. We need to name it. We need something better than what my family has come up with and something to put on its Christmas stocking (yeah, we buy shit for our pets for Christmas) other than what will become it’s default name:
Has-anyone-fed-that-freaking-rabbit-today-noooooooooooooo-of-course-not-everything-is-up-to-
me-in-this-house-isn’t-it-NO-you can’t-eat-that-dinner-is-ready-when-I-freaking-feel-like-it!
Ahem.
Boo wants to call it ‘hutch’, as in ‘rabbit hutch’. I think I have been talking about hutches too much around him.
Too wants to call it ‘Padfoot’, three guesses where THAT is from
Moo and I want to call it ‘Jungle Muff’ in honour of the wordsmith extraordinare Girl at Fertile Mertile
and DH, well he wants to call it nothing cause he thinks it is a baaaaaaaad idea.
Yeah, shutup Mario, it’s a bad idea when I SAY it is a bad idea and then you take the blame. Like all men should.
So, we need a name. Leave your suggestion in the comments* and I will see if I can get the HTML queen, Moo, to make you a pretty button for your blog or sumfin’….
I will post a photo of the darling little bundle of joy when we get it some time over the weekend.
*the management of Magnetoboldtoo! reserve the right to choose a name and then change her mind, and then change it back again and then call the thing something completely different. The management of Magnetoboldtoo! is a woman and it is that time of the month and she is trying to cut down on chocolate.

Hi Kelley, Michelle in Canberra. When we had rabbits one was called Chelsea as in Chelsea
Bun(ny). Not sure if you’ve ever eaten a chelsea bun – they are lovely. The next one was Smudge as it was black and white with “mascara” smudges around his eyes. The last one was Sooty (no he wasn’t black). You could always go with Thumper.

oh no I think it should be “Choccy” or “Coffee BEan” or after your favourite Java so that at least when you start to resent the damn thing cos-every-freakin-thing-is-up-to-you-and-it-hasn’t-been-fed….. then it will remind you of one of your loves in life!
November 15, 2007 at 4:53 pm
How about Billy for a boy, after your favourite black shoes, or Mary Jane for a girl, after the kind of style of said black shoes hehehe
Or Cino, as in Cappucino, which could be for boy or girl.
November 15, 2007 at 5:29 pm
If it’s a boy, you could call him “Stu” as in Rabbit Stu (stew) something you could think about when you are having a “this is a bad idea” day. No? Too corny? You’re right… umm, will have to go and think some more.
November 15, 2007 at 5:44 pm
our rabbit’s name was Cubic – cause she made spheres … :o\
twil think further for you
one-handed typing – grrrr! wanna buy a bubby? :o|
November 15, 2007 at 5:45 pm
she already has a name so you wouldn’t have to think of one …
November 15, 2007 at 6:11 pm
Faff
Because rabbits faff about a LOT, I mean, they’re cute and all… but they don’t do much… (and I mean that in the nicest possible way).
If that’s possible.

Rabbit Yoghurt. No idea? where did that come from..? God I must be due for my period too…
sigh.. this isn’t fair I SO need a HTML thingy
November 15, 2007 at 7:08 pm
I like rabbits. In bacon. Oooops did I say that out loud???
I like Stu. Rabbit stew is nice.
Oh dear, I will leave your blog alone now, not to mention your sweet sweet bunny.
*ahem*
November 15, 2007 at 10:00 pm
Oh Tiffany stole my suggestion!
Stewart… as in Stew It.
🙂
We had a bunny called Butterfly. She escaped.
November 15, 2007 at 11:01 pm
I like Peter, as in Peter Rabbit. LOL The funny thing is, my dad new a guy named Peter and his last name was Rabbit. LOL
Have fun with this. It looks like you’ve got a lot of suggestions.
November 15, 2007 at 11:04 pm
I just thought of another one, you could call him Hassenpfeffer (cooked rabbit) then call him Hass (pronounced hoss)for short.
November 16, 2007 at 12:31 am
Fred. Fred would be a nice name for a bunny.
November 16, 2007 at 12:49 am
ooh I wish I had the humour (tongue in cheek) all these other ladies have. How about Sebastian in honour of your hairdresser (and a rabbits sort of like a Hare isnt it?). Hehe well the name sounded good on the lobster thingy in the little mermaid.
Ooh and chocolate reduction during pms, probably as likely as me reducing coffee atm lol. Hugs, you are stronger than me, no way am I going to try and reduce the chocolate intake (and at the moment i possibly need to up the caffeine, I am soo tired, I fell asleep around 6pm and just woke up after 1am, and am now going back to bed again. BUT I did manage to reclaim a little more of the house today, plus the bathtub is now plumbed in and the spray expander foam stuff is under it and working its magic. Will start putting the walling sheets in soon.
Ooh and did i tell you i chopped all my hair off, longest bit is now jaw length and had heaps thinned out of it, is sooo nice and light and cool, but i had a headache and severe dizziness for a few hours after losing the hair lol, swept up half a grocery bag full and i only had bra-line length hair, can imagine yours would take several shopping bags worth.
Right rambling finished, what was it i started posting about?
November 16, 2007 at 2:30 am
I like Thumper. Sure, it proves I have no imagination, but who could resist a bunny named Thumper?
No one, that’s who.
November 16, 2007 at 3:26 am
Fester? I’m sure somewhere someplace in time your anger will ‘fester’ over the damned bunny. When I was a wee girl, my rabbit was named Charlotte. My brother named his Mr. T.
How about Mel? After Mel Blanc the voice of Bugs?
November 16, 2007 at 3:28 am
I once had a rabbit named Bambi. It was the class pet. We had a bird named Byrde, too. Once night we let Byrde out of his cage to fly around the basement. Stupid bird landed on the rabbit cage where Bambi proceeded to eat the bird’s toes. Stupid bird.
Why not name the rabbit after the day you get it. Saturday? Sunday? Humph day?
November 16, 2007 at 6:25 am
Easy one!
Name it Kitty. I have always wanted to get a non-cat pet and name it that…”here kitty kitty kitty…” Priceless!
So, either that or Bunnicula (after a horrible children’s story about a vampire rabbit that sucks the juice from vegetables) or Lucy (after everyone’s favorite redhead, just because).
Bunnies are adorable. Have fun with your new little one!
November 16, 2007 at 9:10 am
Buggs – never said I was creative 😉
November 16, 2007 at 1:31 pm
“Fuzzball”
As in like Han Solo says to Chewy in Empire Strikes Back (or was it Return of the Jedi?) – “Laugh it up, fuzzball”
November 16, 2007 at 7:52 pm
Yay! I love bunnies!
Clearly, you should call him Fab.
November 17, 2007 at 9:33 am
Always great to be really appreciated. A thoroughly cheerful little award.
Cheers
November 17, 2007 at 5:14 pm
Ok.. this time I am being serious.. I think you should call the Rabbit…. Arthur..
Yes indeedy Arthur Rabbit sounds good..
November 17, 2007 at 6:18 pm
Black and Gold. Or Home Brand. Because rabbits are mass produced…
