Depends on their character and/or colouring or the circumstances :wave:
A rescue bun i know was called Chance because he was a rescue. Dolly (i dont actually like that name! :lol was called Dolly because she was petite and like a little dolly when i got her. Marley was Harley, for no particular reason but then i decided he suited Marley better. The new addition is called Skye because shes a BEW :wave:
Id think of names, but its hard without a picture

I usually take ages deciding on names lol. I've had a goldfish called 'that white fish' for 3 years until yesterday when he mated with my female fish lily (who had eggs previously) then I named him James after Harry Potter's parents.
Birdbaby, my budgie got his name because I hand reared him from my Nan's budgie gang and has always been my baby bird.
Toni Harrison was nameless until my older brother named her after some character from a tv show Mighty Boosh
And Frankie became Frankie after a day of owning him and everyone kept telling me he had an old man's face. xD
Just go with whatever name comes to the tip of your tongue when you look at them. It's the name that suits them best! No matter how silly it is.

My dogs called Murphy, my dad's dog is called Monty. I like the names Oliver and Ralphy. I had a horse called Bracken. :lol:

Why not go for a girl bunny? It'd probably be an easier bond for you and Riley, that's all. Be horrible to get a baby bun, get it neutered and then find he didn't like your current bun. Then you'd have two singles :?

Hmm can't think of any un-common ones!
First one that sprang to mind was Ollie, then started trying to think of one that rhymed with Riley, no joy...:lol:
Chester
Jazzy.
Milo
Too common! ?
I'll keep thinking for you:thumb:

Love this name, had a little foal and named him this.
I quite like the name Milo
I'm getting a baby rabbit, some people are telling me to get a male but some are saying female. My mum and brother want me to get a male. :?

A female would be more likely to bond easier and not fall out again. It's why rescues recommend having one of each in most cases.
A baby rabbit isn't a baby for long and once it grew up it could cause problems.
Not saying they never work, just male/female does tend to be easier
Abi honey I really wouldn't advise getting a male for Riley. A male-male bond requires a fair bit of bonding experience :wave:
Looks like i'll have to get a female then.
It has to be a baby because I dont know how Riley will react with an adult.
xan you not get a rescue, and let riley choose and maybe the recuse can help with bonding them?
I've already rang a few rescues and they wont rehome to me because I let Riley free range.

Could you maybe have a chat to a rescue about their opinion? I'm sure most would be happy to talk to you even if you don't intend on getting one from there.
Or ask to PM people on here who do lots of bondings.
Problem with a baby is once the hormones kick in, it can cause a fight anyway.
There's a few people on here who are fantastic with bonds so hopefully someone would volunteer to chat to you about what could work well? :wave:
ETA the rescues on here tend to be fantastic so might be worth asking one of them
