I usually have names that I like, and I want to name a pet, but when I meet the pet it pretty much always changes, like before I got Kari, I had decided when I got my bunny I would name her Holly, Holly did not even come into the question when I actually got her though. Misty was supposed to be "Rudy" before I met her, then we picked ou Misty after we met her, and before we brought her home, the "Misty" was short for "mistletoe christmas" within 5 minuts of her setting paw in the van it changed to "Mistletoe Mischief", I had a name picked out for Happy, I dont remeber what it was though, Happy was her litter name and when I met her the name just fit, so I kept it. Perky catually took a few days, when we picked her up she was "biskit" then for a few days she was "pebbels" then "Roxy" and we finally settled on "Perky" Ripley was "Rosco" when we got him, we were going to keep it but the first night we had him he got out of the yard, and when we said "Rosco" he rann full speed in the opposiet direction, so he needed a new name, he wasjust nameless till we settled on "Ripley" after watching "Ripleys believe it or not" . I think Taru is the only name we have picked out ahead of time and actually kept.
