How to name a rabbit
Man is used to living next to animals. Some people decide to get a dog, others a cat. But the list of pets doesn't end there. You can also get a decorative rabbit, which will be no less beloved and affectionate than other animals. And if there is a small child in the family, the eared eared will become his real friend for 5-8 years. After all, this is how long these cute creatures live.
Features of the choice of a nickname
Rabbit nicknames are as necessary as for other animals.
With the right choice, the eared eagle quickly gets used to its name and, at the very first call, runs to the owner. Every new breeder should know only one thing: cute creatures react faster to a sonorous short nickname. But if a person has a desire to dig deeper into the pedigree of his pet, you can use some conventional rules adopted by ordinary breeders many years ago. A newborn bunny is called a name that has the same first letter as his father's name.
Not all breeders want to delve into the pedigree. In addition, it is stupid to dwell on certain limits in your own fantasies when choosing a funny or serious nickname for the rabbits. Nicknames are just a way of communication between a pet and a person. And most often, breeders treat the animal not only as a faithful friend and pet, but also as a toy, so the secret of all the rules for choosing a name is that there are no secrets. A hare needs to be given a name only so that he understands that a person is addressing him.
To study a large list of literature, search the entire Internet or look for a suitable name in some external features of hares - each person has his own methods of achieving the goal. But having finally decided on what to call your little girl or boy, you cannot expect from them a lightning-fast reaction, responsiveness, etc. his new name.
What to look for
Having decided to tackle the question of how you can name a rabbit, you need to decide on the search criteria. Most often, the pet gets nicknames that have a connection with some features of a soft fluffy. They may concern:
- appearance;
- character;
- date of birth;
- personal associations of the owner;
- human names;
- names of characters of famous works of art, films and cartoons.
Those who decide to "connect" the search for a name with the appearance should pay attention to the shape of the animal's body, its color, fatness, or even excessive thinness.So, for a red decorative rabbit a good variant of the nickname would be "Ryzhik", "Squirrel" or "Red". For black - "Coal", "Blackie" or "Chocolate". For the grays - "Smoke". For white pets, names are also sufficient ("Chalk", "Snowball", etc.), as well as for rabbits of any other color.
If the owner was attracted by the fatness of the animal, you can come up with cool nicknames: "Ball", "Bun", "Donut" and others. For dwarf fold-eared breeds, nicknames that take into account their external features are suitable: "Baby", "Eared", "Gnome", etc. In addition, some owners of rabbits prefer to give their pets funny nicknames, taken from the names of a set of products, which are most often filled with kitchen shelves or refrigerator. You can often find such names as "Zephyr", "Donut", "Sausage", "Sausage", "Sweetie" and even "Duchess".
A few secrets of teaching rabbits to a new nickname
Choosing the right name for your rabbits is not an easy task. In addition, there are some features of how quickly an eared eared can get used to a new way of communicating with a person:
- the shorter and louder the name, the faster the rabbit will get used to it;
- in the first few days, it is necessary to pronounce the name at the same volume;
- training is carried out by one person (the rabbit gradually gets used to a large family, you need to start communicating with only one of its members).
It is equally important to pamper your pets with goodies. This is especially important during the period of learning a new nickname for him. Calling it, you need to give your baby a piece of carrot or other vegetable. So, the animal will quickly understand that there is no threat from a person, and his intentions are good. Gradually, the number of treats decreases. Food should be replaced with weasel. The rabbit will quickly get used to such human behavior and will also respond to other family members.
If there are small children in the house, they need to be explained that the rabbit is not a toy. Kids often go too far with their own curiosity and mischief, which is why it is the animals that suffer. The mistakes of children always lie on the shoulders of adults, so the animal should not be tormented by little mischievous people.
How to choose a name for the nature of the animal
Rabbit names may have something to do with the nature of the pet.
Some breeders are trying to come up with some mystical, beautiful names for the fluffy animal. So, for the black hare, the nickname "Damn" or even "Demon" is suitable. Such a name will be especially successful if the animal is playful and stubborn. For an active rabbit, picking up a nickname is easy. Names are suitable for the girl:
- "Spark";
- "Lynx";
- "Lada";
- "Witch";
- "Bandit".
Nicknames may be suitable for a boy:
- "Player";
- "Sharpie";
- "Clown";
- "Pirate";
- "Roger";
- "Mischievous".
If a new girlfriend or boyfriend is constantly tired of active games, and they prefer to spend time in a dream, lounging on a pillow or sofa, their calm nature can also be reflected in the choice of a nickname. For a calm girl, names are suitable:
- "Countess";
- Cleopatra;
- Sonya;
- "Milka";
- Musya.
It is also easy for a calm lazy boy to find a suitable name, especially if these animals, in addition to their laziness, have a proud character. There are many options:
- "King";
- "Sultan";
- Newton;
- "North";
- Rex;
- "Tamerlane".
Rabbits are among those pets that are very difficult to even look at seriously. These cute, fluffy creatures are so affectionate and kind that they are often given the same names. It makes no sense to look for a deep meaning in such amusing nicknames: "Masyanya", "Nemo", "Karapuz", "Stepashka", "Tishka", "Khrustyk", etc.
The animal world is full of secrets and mysteries, and even buying a domestic animal, a small and tender rabbit, can reveal to a person some peculiarities of his relationship with nature. A reliable friend who requires affection for adults and children can become a real favorite. And it doesn't matter whether he is black or white, the name that is given to him will be the first step towards communicating with him.
Human names for rabbits
The first thing to take care of, after a pet has appeared in the family in the form of a small rabbit, is to create all the necessary conditions for life. You should give him a feeder and a drinker, as well as a sleeping place (cage). The animal will feel the care of people and will thank them with its affection. But it is very difficult to establish contact between a person and an eared person without giving a nickname. In addition, some furry owners treat their little fellows like family members. The first thing that comes to mind is to call the rabbit by a human name.
For those who do not know how to call a rabbit a girl, names such as:
- "Zlata";
- "Marusya";
- "Masha";
- "Zina";
- "Nyusha";
- Mila.
There are a lot of options. Each owner of a fluffy girl can choose the name that he likes best for her. People can be guided by different associations or desires. Very often the muzzle of a small animal resembles some kind of celebrity or even a close friend or comrade. Some owners prefer to call their pets by their own name, characterizing comic patronage over them.
If the new pet is a boy, a more appropriate male human name should be chosen. It can be casual or petting. The main thing is that the person himself likes it, and the animal will quickly get used to it. The most common names are Grishka, Antokha, Alex, Roy, Rick, etc.
It's better to look for help in the calendar
The female and male names that rabbits are called do not always suit one or another animal. Often, among the many options, you cannot find the best name. But there is no need to despair. It is not difficult to decide what you can call your rabbit, especially if you use a regular calendar. Particular attention is paid to the month and even the pet's birthday. That is, nicknames are suitable for rabbits:
- “Marta”, “Monya” - for those born in March;
- “Yanya” - born in January;
- Maya - in May;
- "Leta", "Spring", "Aspen" and "Zimushka" - according to the seasons.
Also, some breeders use the days of the week when choosing a nickname, from "Monday" to "Sunday". Owners of eared ears can leave such a nickname unchanged or alter it at their own discretion. There are always many options used by the owners of the animal, and they all have their own advantages and disadvantages. But the owner does not always decide on his own how to name his rabbit.
A male rabbit is also easy to name using a calendar. As a name for him, the season, month and birthday are suitable. The most popular nicknames are "March", "Martin", "Feva", "April", "May", etc.
Our favorite characters
It is also easy to decide how to name a boy's rabbit if you remember your favorite cartoon characters from childhood, as well as some films and books. The first to come to mind is the well-known "Bugs Bunny" from the old, but funny cartoon of the 80-90s. But this character is not to everyone's taste. Quite often the owners of the rabbit choose a name for it from “close to heart” domestic and even Soviet works. But it is no less rare that nicknames that are not childish come across. Examples are varied:
- "Korsh" from the cartoon "Smeshariki";
- “Stepashka” from the TV show “Good night, kids”;
- "The March Hare" (ex. "Mart" or "Martha") from "Alice in Wonderland";
- Playboy, after the famous adult magazine;
- Roger from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Some owners of a small domesticated hare prefer to choose a name for the rabbit that has nothing to do with animals, such nicknames that are unusual for rabbits. Funny animals are given the names of famous characters and actors in Hollywood. Today it is easy to meet rabbits with the nicknames "Passepartout", "Rimbaud", "Rocky", "Trinity", "Neo", "Sherlock" and others. It is also very funny to watch the namesakes of famous actors: Jackie Chan, Van Damme, Bruce Willis and others, the list can be endless.Such names of rabbits often do not carry a semantic load, but sometimes a fluffy fighter is called that, based on his behavior and aspects of his relationship to other animals.
We must not forget that animals are not toys either. On the one hand, it is stupid to come up with insults, some nasty things and stupidity as names, but immoral on the other. Rabbits are the same living and kind creatures, like all other inhabitants of the planet, it is necessary to treat them appropriately. Everything is in the hands of man, therefore, the attitude towards small animals should be humane.
