many rabbitfolk are good. They have no particular on what the individual rabbitfolk inspires among their

Ultimately, the parent and child work together to
choose two names, their “life” name and their “warren”
name. The child chooses the life name that best fits
their perception of themselves and is prone to change
throughout a lifetime. The warren name is similar to a
family name or surname and most parents choose the
same warren name for all of their children, though a
warren name might differ in cases where a rabbitfolk
seems more at home with other families.
