Canadian rocker Bryan Adams recently welcomed his first child, a baby girl named Mirabella Bunny.
According to Adams, Bunny alludes to the baby’s birth date:
I’m really proud to announce on 22 April, Mirabella Bunny was born. She arrived like all good Easter bunnies on Easter Friday.
Call me crazy, but I like this one.
Mirabella is lovely. And it works well with a 2-syllable b-name. The rhythm/consonance of “Mirabella Bunny” immediately reminded me of “Isadora Duncan,” which has always been a favorite name-pairing of mine.
While I’m not a big fan of “Bunny,” I do appreciate that it has special significance in this case. And I’m happy it’s not the first name, but well-hidden in the middle. (Are you listening, Jamie Oliver?)
What do you think?
My first thought was, “Bunny? Why not Rabbit?” But then I thought, “Oh, wait, a Rabbit is a sex toy.” Ha! Seriously, I think Easter would have been a better choice for a middle name. Mirabella is a pretty name. I just hope it doesn’t get shortened to the ubiquitous Bella.
P.S. Bryan, your daughter was born on Good Friday, not Easter Friday. Easter Friday is a week after Good Friday.
I suspect she will chose not to use her mn much as an adult, unless she goes into show business. Cute, but why not use it as a family nn rather than a middle?
I wanted to add that I know an Anastasia whose parents chose that name because it is the Greek word for resurrection and she was born on Easter Sunday. Anastasia is a much better Easter name than silly Bunny.
