The first names embedded in B Is for Bunny Rabbit are Baden, Barbara, Becca, Beckett, Bella, Ben, Bentrice, Bertram, Beth, Bharti, Blanca, Blaze, Blue, Bodhi, Bong-Cha, Botham, Breizh, Brett, Bridget, Bridgette, Brie, Brittney, Brooke, Bruce, Bryan, and Buffy.

The word “bunny” used to be a pet name for a squirrel, but somehow evolved into the cute version of “rabbit.” Incidentally, except that rabbits weren’t always called by that name. Back when the adults of the species were called “coney,” a “rabbit” was the baby animal. In other words, our naming relationship with bunnies over the years has been all about giving them pet names again and again!
