During the depression, my Dad and his brothers (children at the time) raised rabbits. They named one of them “Steve”.

One evening, they had fried Steve for dinner. The boys weren’t too happy about it, but it was the depression ... They didn’t name any more rabbits. And I learned, at a very young age, not to name livestock.

Never name something you may eat. Love rabbit but I’d rather field dress a deer than a rabbit. How can something that small have that much stink?

Just name them appropriately. ("Monday," "Tuesday," "Wednesday.")
