300 Rabbit Names: Adorable & Popular Choices for Your Bunny

Rabbits are among the most beloved small furry pets—and it’s easy to see why. Intelligent, affectionate, and deeply social, they form strong bonds with their people and fellow bunnies.

How To Name Your Rabbit

It’s tempting to pick a name on impulse—especially one that sounds sweet or whimsical—but the best choice often emerges after you’ve spent real time with your rabbit. You might envision a delicate, dainty name… only to discover your new friend is a whirlwind of energy—leaping, zooming, and tossing toys like a tiny, furry gladiator!

A great name can reflect many things: coat color, fur texture, size, temperament, or even a charming contradiction (think naming a massive Flemish Giant “Tiny”). The key is observation and intuition. Try a few top contenders aloud—see which one feels right when you call it. Your rabbit may not respond verbally, but you’ll likely notice a subtle shift: a twitch of the nose, a pause in grooming, or an alert ear turn. That’s your sign.
