Lop Names

After quite a few months and still not having named the Lop females I'm raising up, I finally managed to pick names that I think fit each bunny rather well.

First up, my broken Chocolate colored female.  Her mother was Bonnie who passed away when the litter was only a few weeks old.  Luckily though, my Giant Flemish female, Dadooshka only had a litter of 5, and was able to take the entire litter and raise them up.  Her father is Bruce.  And her name is Eva, meaning "Living One."  I thought it suited her well since she was able to survive, being raised by another female after her mother passed.

Next up, my broken Blue female.  Her mother is Cupcake, my very first female Lop of any breed to own.  And her father is Gorman, my BEW (Blue Eyed White) male.  I absolutely love her ears, how they look like they're blue that's been dipped in some white paint.  Her name is Olive.  The olive branch is a symbol of peace.  Since this particular female is very peaceful and sweet, I felt Olive was an appropriate name for her. 

This sweet girl is one of 3 sisters which I kept.  Her mother is Cora, one of Cupcake's daughters.  And her father is Gorman.  She almost sold this summer, but the people who looked at her bought 2 of her sisters instead.  I was really glad when they didn't pick her, after having debated back and forth as to whether or not I wanted to keep her.  I named her Myra.  Myra means "peace" and "wonderful".   She's very sweet and so this name fits her perfectly!

Myra, as you can see from the picture below, has one eye that's marbled.  It's mainly blue with a little brown on the top to create a beautiful eye.  Her other eye is completely blue. 

Then here's Myra's sister from the same litter, same parents.  I knew from the beginning that I was keeping her, especially when her eyes opened and I saw how beautiful a blue they were.  Her name is Hope, simply because she's a really sweet bunny and Hope just seemed a suitable name.

And the last of the 3 sisters, is this beautiful broken Blue female.  She, like her sisters Myra and Hope, has blue eyes.  I named her Charity.  This name means "Dear" or "Beloved".   She was a definite keeper from the day she was born.  Her beautiful markings and colors, plus her wonderful disposition made it a no brainer.  

And just as before, she still loves standing on her hind legs for pictures! Only today, she kept looking all around, basically anywhere but at the camera.  :)

So finally, after quite a few months, all my Lop females have been named and have been made sections in my rabbit book for Spring breeding.
