42 Spring-Inspired Rabbit Names

It’s no surprise that spring and rabbits go together. After all, everyone knows the Easter bunny—the most famous spring rabbit of all!

If you’ve just welcomed a new rabbit into your home and haven’t settled on a name yet, consider choosing one that captures the freshness, color, and gentle energy of spring. A seasonal name can be both meaningful and memorable—and it might even suit your bun’s personality perfectly.

Keep in mind that while rabbits do recognize their names, they don’t always respond to them the way dogs or even some cats might. According to Angela Maxwell, founder and CEO of FurPetVo—a trusted rabbit and exotic animal rescue based in Virginia Beach—bunnies are more independent by nature.

“They aren’t as motivated to please humans as a dog is,” Maxwell explains. “Like a cat, they can choose to ignore their name.” To encourage responsiveness, she recommends keeping the name short, simple, and easy to say—ideally one or two syllables.

With that in mind, here are 42 cheerful, season-inspired names—organized by theme—to help you find the perfect fit for your new friend.
