It might be a little odd, (our family has a rabbit problem, my father’s collection of bunny coffee mugs would attest to that) but one of our favorite stuffed bunny is name the Bunn of Y (pronounced Bunn of ee, though you could spell it that was too) lets just say this bunny is very adventurous and has even been mistaken for a UFO by a random passerby. (this is what happens when a couple of siblings decide the Bunn of Y wanted to fly and proceeded to throw it out the window on a 20 ft cord and spin it around really really fast.)
then there’s Bunny and Bunnette, who both accompanied my dad through grad school and now have PhDs in electrical engineering

I like the use of similar letters like you (by coincidence? no…) did for Elijah - the Elephant. Here’s E and L at the same places in the words.
Therefore, I’d call her (as I believe Elijah is in need of a female friend) Ruby - the Rabbit. Here’s R and B at the same place in both words.

I’m sure you’ll find a good name for the amazingly cute rabbit :)

This little bunny is adooooooorable, and I fully plan to knit her/him for a small cousin of mine.

Pinkerton Rabbit, for some reason. I like the idea of both a first and last name, as though he could be real enough to get mail ro a credit card or something!

As for a tag line, something like ‘fairytale knits’ or ‘romance on the moor’…. I don’t know, I find your designs have really romantic and feminine touches, that aren’t too ‘girly’ or over the top. If Wuthering Heights played out in knitwear, I’d totally imagine your designs. Can’t you just see Cathy wearing the Cloud Bolero or Snow White, crying, ‘ Heathcliff! Heathcliff!”???

(Or maybe I should just lay off the caffeine….)

Peony…or Heloise. She looks like an old-fashioned kind of bunny girl.

As for a tagline–your patterns are so adorable on their own that I really don’t think they need any. But if you must have one, maybe something relating to the names?

Belle–a beret whimsical enough for the village girl and sophisticated enough for the Beast’s love

Many of your patterns seem inspired by fairytales … perhaps “Fairytales by Ysolda”?

But also you might want to emphasise you take a lot of care in making sure your patterns are clear, so perhaps something along the lines of “Fairytales fully explained”? “Fairytales in detail?” Umm, not quite catch enough, umm…

Comment from Katrina

Since I am bilingual, and french is such a beautiful language, may I suggest Jeannot lapin pronounced somewhat like theis: jah-no (soft j) lah-peigh (silent n), in case you don’t know french. Jeannot lapin is a children’s book character, in the translation of Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit.

I wrote this to intro your designs: Sporting names borrowed from your favourite childhood fairytales and belles from classic literature such as Gretel, Snow White, and Estella; and featuring such delicately girlish details as picot edgings, lace borders, and satin ribbons, Ysolda’s designs will please the little girl within all of us. Written in easy-to-follow and adaptable instructions, the knitting itself captures the fancy and inspires the knitter to give up her day job to knit patterns à la Ysolda all day long.

Hope you like my ideas!

Comment from HibiscuitsGirl

Well, it’s pretty clear the bunny’s name is Lenore. She’s delicate, sweet, but a little sorrowful (those drooping ears!).

I also like the idea of “Fairytale knits,” but I worry that’s a little too precious. For a tagline, maybe something along the lines of “Once upon a time….” and then the pattern name at the bottom: “Coraline” or “Snow White” for example. But the image on which the tag line appears should be sort of dark fairytale-y, like something from Tim Burton or Terry Gilliam. Maybe try the Orton effect on the ad image in conjunction with this idea. Whatever you end up designing I’m sure will be perfect.

I suggest Mr. Bun for the simple sake that our house is comic obsessed and Mr. Bun was the name of Calvin’s female nemesis Susie’s stuffed bunny rabbit in the comic Calvin and Hobbes.

Advertising is difficult. Of course, sn ad to be eyecathing but not too “look at me.” It should come down to what you want your designs to portray e.g cute, classic or whimsical. As for a theme, I can see your designs fitting into a medievil princess/peasant scenario. I hope this helps!

The Irish word for rabbit is coinín (pronounced cuh-neen) and this reminds me of the name Connie, which I think would suit your lovely bunny quite well, and compliment Elijah’s name, too. It means constancy and steadfastness. It can be used as both a boys and girls name, but I think your little bunny is a girl.

with so many suggestions, I’m not sure how you will ever pick a name, but whatever you choose, I cant wait to knit up him or her!

Blimmin’ ‘eck! I think Katrina should win the tagline competition - her entry nails your designs perfectly. Fairytales seem to twee to encapsulate your designs, and while they are feminine, I feel there is a darker edge to some of them. Snow White, for example, with its overtones of poison and jealousy; or Estella, whose mentor Miss Havisham instills such bile in her. Perhaps ‘the darker side of Wonderland’ would be a good tagline?

As for the rabbit, I second Flora, but that may be because I am reading ‘Cold Comfort Farm’ at the moment!

The bunny looks like Whybrow to me. Because he has a “Y” shape to his eyebrows / face, and a slightly quizzical air. Apologies to owners of the surname (I knew one once!)
And Ysolda is just Ysolda - instantly recognisable, one of a kind! I had it in my head that the blog was called “Ysolda Me” - that’s a tagline! Go on - Ysolda me, I dare you!

What about Verity? She looks like a truthful little bunny to me!

Disclaimer, I totally got the idea because the first producer of Doctor Who passed away yesterday, Verity Lambert. Perhaps that’s too morbid for a little bunny. But I like the name nonetheless!

He has floppy ears like my bun Dylan, who we call Dilly when he is cute like your toy and DYLANNN!! when he is running away with some yarn.

I too thought Flopsy Bunny - it’s how my mother describes the feeling when you’re getting over being ill and just starting to feel back to normal. My other thought was Looby - and she’s definitely a girl bunny

have fun choosing

Just to throw one more on there… as a kid, my stuffed rabbit was named Flopsy. it’s reasonably gender neutral, and although not a proper name (as was Elijah), still seems appropriate.

either way, s/he’s adorable!

Mercedes. gender neutral (in the rabbit world!) and altho’ the symbol is upside down, people could see the inspiration for the name.

Sherrill, if it’s a boy; Cheryl if it’s a girl. although, for reals? I know a couple of people have suggested it, but Peter is an excellent name for any rabbit.

If it’s a male, you could name him Brody (as a brother for Elijah). If it ultimately feels more female to you, Finna (for fair) or Nuala (for fair-shouldered) sound nice.

Of course, the face makes me think of three, for which Selas or Trini might work.

How about Imogene for a name? I know I pronounce it different (eye-mo-jean), but it was my grandmother’s name. You are saying it wrong! lol

I will also suggest my other grandmother’s name, Lina Belle (Lye-na) since your little bunny feels like an antique bunny that a long ago child loved.

Comment from Kelly Lynn
Time: November 25, 2007, 5:25 pm

I just realised that Sibley (for sister) might be a good name too. The bunny makes a good sister for Elijah, and it would make a good gift for a big sister to a new baby.

Comment from Kera
Time: November 25, 2007, 6:00 pm

Bella Luna if it’s a girl. There’s something around the face that reminds me of the moon.

If it’s a boy…something proper and old english, and since I’m a huge fan, something from a Jane austen Book. Fitzwilliam Darcy or Bingley or Willoughby.

I hope none of these have been repeats.

Hi. I lurk. I am coming out of the woodwork to suggest that your rabbit be called Prudence. Rabbits have always seemed very cautious and timid to me. You choose names with care and purpose. This name seems true to that spirit - and it is quite old fashioned, so it is in keeping with many of the previous suggestions!

I find the care you take with names quite endearing and would like to see a tagline that evokes this somehow. Perhaps something including a phrase like “literary inspirations”

Good luck with the advertising. It will be an adventure!

The color you used reminds me of the old fashioned “Bit-o-Honey” candies… so I thought of “Bit-o-Bunny”

Another suggestion - since she is coming out around the holidays - Noelle. Festive, bright and sweet.

Comment from Tammy
Time: December 12, 2007, 10:31 pm

Pru, for short. She’s not a very girly rabbit. She probably wouldn’t like such a fussy name as Prudence.

I don’t have an argument for it, but I also quite like Eloise. Eloise and Elijah. . . .
