Sorry! I always thought the thing was chubby. The name made sense in my head as the mascot octopus is a bit gooey.

I was not sure if I could call him Bunnie since I thought that was a nickname. Is there a chance Bunnie is not pronounced "bunny"? I think there is a chance I may not be very good with reading words.



It is pronounced the same as bunny (as in the killer rabbit from Monty Python & The Holy Grail) and it is technically a nickname, but I've never heard anyone call him anything other than bunnie even in a work setting.
