What about "Eclipse"- for a black bunny's name.
Or
"Midnight", but I like "Eclipse" better.

All rabbits can scratch you and be mean. They are not all cuddly and soft. They are not the best pet to have if you want to hold it all the time. Will you take care of it day after day for the rest of it's life? You will have to have a cage, water bottle and a feeding bowl for it. If you have responsibly taken care of a pet before then they may be willing to let you have a bunny. Just ask them to buy you a bunny and see if they will get it for you. You could name it "Blackie". There are other options such as a small dog, gerbil, mice, or other small pets.
Next question you have to ask yourself is....Will this rabbit get along with your dog? Are you going to want to have "both" animals in the house?

You have a dog, a rabbit is nothing like a dog, they are very intelligent and very social, they need hours upon hours of attention EVERY DAY!!! You cannot just ignore it. Also it needs a run. If you plan on just having a cage dont get one, you will be adding to the cruelty of the animal. They need a large space to run around ALL the TIME!!
Also you cannot cuddle them, a rabbit is not a cuddly animal, they are prey animals and picking them up makes them think they are in the clutches of a hawk and off to the dinner plate. But they love attention, for hours and hours my rabbit will happily accept nose rubs and grooming. He may even get on with your dog and play.
Our first rabbit came from a little girl who no longer wanted her as she was no longer a cute looking bunny, but she was a cute rabbit. She would spend hours in the garden running and hiding but as with our other one did not like being picked up.
A rabbit is more work than a dog, if it has a runny poo you need to clean it or it will get fly strike (something you never in your life should have to witness but can happen). You need to clean their tray on a regular basis, feed a correct ammount and more importantly spend time with it. It will not be happy just being on its own.

Why a black bunny? Anyway take your dad to meet someone from the House Rabbit Society to pick out a rabbit. Mot rabbits aren't mean. This way your dad can see that it's a good bun. Just remember that after you bring it home it will be stressed and may take a while for it to warm up to you.

I got a rabbit 4 months ago for my birthday and they really are a great animal...if you understand them, please realize they are not at all like a cat or dog. Also they are a very high maientance pet no matter what an uncaring rabbit owner will tell you. They need to socialize constantly while they are young or they will grow up to be wild. Please please do not get one to just let it live outside or in the garage. They need to be inside with the family and are not for a neat freak. Also they do not smell bad but their urine smell is awful and mine has chewed just about every cord imaginable. Do a lot of research before you decide and check with an animal shelter first. After cats and dogs rabbits are the most abandoned animal in shelters.

The best rabbit to get is a netherland dwarf they only get to be about 2 to 3 pounds and are very affectionate, when they get to be about 5 months old he might get a little aggressive this means that its is time to get him neutered. a male rabbit is the best choice they live longer and are alot more fun. I have three rabbits and they are the best pets I have ever had. I had a fourth rabbit but he died today I only had him for a week he was a year old and was given to me by a neighbor who neglected to tell me he was sick. I will deal with him later.

look up some local non-kill shelters in your area. they have allot in my area, and they have bunnies with personality traits listed. instead of getting a bunny from a pet store, please try this first. the people there want to place animals with people, not make a sale,so they will help you get the right one for you. and you'd be saving a animal.
