New bunny for Milli

He comes home Tuesday. One of two eligible bachelors at the Humane Society. All three of them got along and made a very cute group as they're all marked the same (brown spots) but I couldn't take them both with me - the attentive, confident, curious boy with almost identical features to Milli didn't make the cut, although Milli and I liked him. He wasn't very good with being handled and smelled a bit (same scent gland B.O. problem as Milli too). I hope he gets adopted and goes to a good home. I wish I could have taken him. They were all so cute, Milli and her two suitors cuddling together (Milli in the middle) in her carrier.

Anyway, the lucky boy that I adopted is younger; possibly less than a year old, so he may still get bigger. He didn't seem interested in me very much at all, but he liked Milli and everybody else who met him adored him. He's the kind of rabbit people look for when they think of getting a rabbit - a live stuffed toy. He just sort of lies passively while you carry him around. I thought I had some good names, but they don't seem right in retrospect. I have no idea what I'm going to call him. I had ideas for the other one, but he was the type that was easy to name - full of personality. This guy... I guess I'm having a hard time because there's so little to him that I know of so far. Maybe after he comes home I can get some ideas.

Good luck to "Polka Dot," the boy I couldn't take with me (I would have named you Spike). I hope you find a good home soon.

I'd post a photo of the one I am bringing home, but he hadn't been photographed yet as of his adoption. He has brown spots but shares no other features (such as facial features) with Milli. Is very passive, submissive, and can be carried around like a doll. I'm trying to keep to the theme I had with Milli and Max's names; that is, anime/comic book character names, of 2 syllables or less, preferably something that mostly sounds like a "normal" name, like something you wouldn't be embarrassed to name a human. Preferably a namesake sharing some trait of his, and one that I know of. Any suggestions?

Not "Floppo" that just makes him sound like the lost Marx brother.

His name is Daisuke.
