Good Gosh… there is SO MUCH here…

[1] In the Zooniverse, rabbits can get older than 100 years.

[2] Grandpa Hopps’ full name is Otto Hopps. The name “Otto” is a German given name. So, if Zootopia is “America”, Judy descended from an immigrant family.

[3] Otto Hopps had a total of 1′100 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. From those 1′100, more than a quarter are Stu & Bonnie’s children.



[4] BONNIE HOPPS IS OTTO’S YOUNGEST DAUGHTER. So, Stu adopted the surname of Hopps instead of the other way around… or they are an incestuous couple .

If Stu adopted the Hopps surname, then that means either:

[4a] Stu came from a very poor family, and adopted the revered name of Hopps to increase his social standing. Or,

[4b] The bunnies in Zootopia practices matrilineal naming.

I don’t think Stu is the kind of guy that concerns himself greatly about social standing, though. He struck me as an honest guy with genuine care & love for his family. So I’ll stick with [4b]

THAT MEANS

[5] If foxes practice patrilineal naming, there might be a bit of a disagreement on how the two lovemammals will name themselves after marriage.

HEADCANON TIME:

The reason why Judy & Nick used the family name of Wilde-Hopps after marriage was a compromise. An Allianzname, in Germanic tradition.

(But to prevent further disagreements, all their kits – birthed or adopted – carry the Allianzname Wilde-Hopps instead of just using Nick’s.)
