We actually do have a serious name for him, but it's hard to resist the urge to also call him Big Chungus. Rabbits look so fat. lol


:lol: No one said pets can't have nicknames :wink:. We have 4 cats and like 20 something different nicknames.
You too, eh? Our dogs, turtles and guinea pigs all had one name and plethora of nicknames.

Only give your pet a name that you feel comfortable responding to when you are waiting at the vets office. My mum learned this lesson the hard way lol

You need to share a photo. We need to see this chunky monkey.

My rabbits have respectable human names (how boring of me) but a million nicknames including little splodge, which one gets called when she sploots (this is a technical term in the bunny community) and her fluff just goes splodge.

Seconded. Mum and I were having a discussion on daft pet names and Trouser was one that came up though going to the park and shouting FLUFFY COME HERE to your dog would be funny. Dad seems to think Mrs/Mr Chuckles is a good name for a dog while also referring to dog V1 as Mrs Baggins. In addition there are Mr Snuggly, Clunk (noise dog V4 makes when he collides with something) and not forgetting Fuzzy.

Of course, none of these are their real names which I will not reveal to spare them the embarrassment!

I usually give my pets relatively human names, I feel bad if I name them something dumb which is why "Big Chungus" would be a nickname. Though, making the vet have to call out "Big Chungus?" when it's his turn would be funny and is now tempting.

I've also been trying to get proper pictures of him but he's very excitable. When he's not in his enclosure he's running around (or begging me for pellets and then running off when he doesn't get any...). When I can get an actual proper picture though you can be sure I'll be posting it all over. :wink:

(By the way, your bunny sounds adorable. I love her nickname. lol)

I've definitely heard some... interesting pet names. I believe someone named their pet Toaster once. :lol:

Why not Humongous Chungus?

Or El-ahrairah if you're into naming your children after religious figures/folk heroes

Rabbits are the only pets I've had where people make jokes about eating them. It's weird. When I had a dog no one ever told me they like dogs... in stew.
