Slightly odd one, but hoping you've might be able to help....

Bump has been known as Bunny since an early scan where she looked just like a (very cute) rabbit. Now we aren't going to call her Bunny.... but quite like the idea of a middle name that relates to rabbits/bunnies, but in a way that no one else need know. So not Flopsy or Cottontail...

Any ideas???

HOW HAS NO-ONE SAID WARREN YET?

Not RTFT, but Bunny Guinness seems to be acceptable. Bunny isn't her BC name.

Hazel. Really want to reread watership down now. Favourite. Book. Ever.

You could hide some of the letters in a longer name so you know about it but others won't unless you tell them.

"rab" is in Arabella, Mirabelle

Or how about Bianca meaning "white" (as in the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland), with Bunny as nickname?

And a few ideas from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listofffictionalrabbitssand_hares

Cecily
Aster
Lily
Ruby
Serena
Anais
Babs/Barbara
Judy
Kate
Lexi
Lola
Luna
Clover

Awesome ideas - thank you!!! Lots to mull over. I wonder if she'll ever shake off the Bunny nickname within the family....?

No harm in having it as a lifelong nickname OP. My grandparents have friends called Bunny and Tiger. In fact I don't think I've ever heard Bunny's real name.

Apparently Bunny is a nickname for either Barbara or Bernice, so you could use one of those

Slightly different, but Leveret is a name for a young hare and is quite distinguished-sounding if you’re into unusual names Smile

Bunnica
Miffy
Podkin, Pook or Paz

Bernice or Bernadette are nice.
Call the baby Bunny.
I used to know a male Bunny but I think his real name was John or something.

I have a rabbit called Pixie 😁
