Remember Bonnie?
Bonnie ain't Bonnie.
Bonnie is a boy! Now what are we gonna do?
First off, we need a name. So please help us out with any suggestions, even off the top of your head. She was advertised as a female. And I thought we ought to check. We've been rabbit owners long enough to know that when a baby is young, it's almost impossible to tell if it's male or female. And it is a likely scenario that a family could walk into a pet store, be told they were taking home a girl bunny, and just never check again. Even if they did check, they might not know. Then if they ever gave it away, they'd call it a "girl" and the hapless people who they gave it to...that's us!
WE were smart enough to check. And we didn't. So, it's our own fault.
Lesson learned.

Heather's sounds too racy...ha!
Well, going with My Bonnie lies over the ocean....
You could name him Scotty, 'cause it's a Scottish tune.
Or, there was a parody of the song on Bugs Bunny; My Bunny lies over the ocean. So how about Bugs or Bugsy?
The subject of the song is thought to be Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie).
So you could call him Prince Charlie! Or Prince Charles.
Correction: The Bugs Bunny short was called My Bunny Lies over the sea. In the short, the other character is Angus MacRory. I like that name, too. Then there is always Mel, after Mel Blanc!
How about "Gramps" -- he'll grow into it.
You could also go with something gender neutral to forever commemorate the mix up:
"Pat", "Alex", "Sasha", "Sam", "Jo", etc
Another good choice would be my word verification word: ingsria
