FORUM GAME Why is ... called ...?

OK. Here is my attempt on a foum game.

The idea is that one person asks why is something called something and the second needs to answer.

Here is a small example:

Player1: Why is bunny called bunny?
Player2: Because they it likes to be banned?  lol
            Why is water called water?
.........

And one more thing - DO NOT USE GOOGLE OR WIKIPEDIA TO CHECK THE ANSWER.
