I picked the name Harriet weeks before I even saw the bunny who would become Harriet. I just thought it was a really cute name and would suit a little bunny. OH wanted a REW lionhead, but I knew straight away I wanted Harriet. She was just beautiful and sitting away from the others, all comfortable and dignified. Totally a Harriet. And good job, she was the only one not reserved
Then we got Jessie. She was Ruby while she was in the adoption centre, but it didn't suit her at all. I wanted something similar in style to Harriet, like Henrietta, but we already had a guinea pig called Henry. OH suggested Jessie, and I kind of went "yeah, maybe", but it just ended up sticking, we didn't think of anything else.
Alfie was Brian in the adoption centre :lol: He sort of suited it, but I hated it. OH wanted to keep it, he found it really funny. So we compromised, we decided on Alfonso, quite a funny name, but shortened it to Alfie. He gets Alfonso when he's naughty, haha.
Oh and as for the guinea pigs, Henry and Arthur fitted with Harriet, quite posh, both kings (both have prominent hairstyles, like crowns!). We also had a hamster called Nancy. I love human names on animals.
