Simba and Nala didn't.
Kiara was Emily.
Kodies name was Bronco!!:eek: :eek:
we didnt like that name,so i got to name him
i had charlie,bow(bowregard),or Kodie,and obviously i chose Kodie:rolleyes:
Gonzo was named Blue :eek:
he was a country boy on a farm.. his daddy's name was Waldo, and his mommy was Hue, I guess thats where they got his name. We stuck with the "blue" thing, anyway, with Gonzo. then, I really started to not like Gonzo after a few weeks, so I changed it to Rocco.. but Gonzo stuck, and everyone except me was calling him Gonzo, so he's Gonzo now. :D hehe
I'm sure Murph had another name, but I can't remember his.
Maddie's was Trudy
Oz's was Cosmo
Gully's was Lee
No, Gracie was not named
they all did, I dont know what mistys was though, I only remember what a few of the litter names were in the litter lol
Happys was Happy
Blairs was Blair
Perkys was Biscuit, then for a while it was Roxy, then it became Perky lol
Ripleys was Rosco
Abby didn't have a name. :)
Cali, I like the name Rosco!! :D
Meeka no.. because she came to live with us! :p
But my gramas dog Luci did... her full name was "Ravene Black-Hawk." YUCK! :rolleyes:
Molly and Daisy weren't named before we had them.
My old Australian Shepherd, whom we adopted from a shelter/rescue and named Bandit when we had him, was originally called "Squint".
Maggie's name was Maggie, but my sister wanted to name her Lucy, but I didn't like that name for her so we just left it.
Just about everyone arrived here named. I've kept most of their names. I changed Kayleigh's. It was Cowley before and I thought that was just dumb!
Earle's breeder (he stayed at his momma's house, Muskwa just popped by to sire the litter!:eek: ) called him Flower cuz he had eaten every bit of flower in her back yard! he still likes to eat flowers!
The shelter called Heyoka "Nanook". I hate that name. Must be 9 million malamutes called Nanook! It had to go!
The only other one we've named is Muskwa.
Chester didn't have a name. :(
Millie's was Millie! :D
Bella came from a breeder and was the second to last in her litter to be adopted. Since she was a little larger than her brother, the breeder referred to her brother as Teeny Weeny but had no name for Bella, at least none that she shared with me. :(
Ripley was just a # at the shelter. :(
Basil was Eddie
Vanilla was Priscilla
:rolleyes:
Jack, Georgie, Lucky, Pepper, Twister and Wishbone were already named, and I kept those names ... not because I like them, necesarily, but because I was too lazy to change them.
Queenie, Lacie and Keito did not have names before I got them.
lol their is nothing wrong with the name, we had to change it because his prevoius 2 owners obviously had no clue how to train a dog, because you called him Rosco and he would run top speed in the opposite direction!Quote:
Cali, I like the name Rosco!!
Reggie's name was Scooter as a pup.
I think my sister said that Sydneys name was Dolly.
Nebo wasn't named as a pup that I'm aware of.
Sadie didn't have an offical name, but they called her "twin" because she looked just like another puppy in her litter.
Spot was Spot...we kept the name he came with
Cincy was unnamed
Sammie was Happy
Maggie was Asta
Merlin used to be called Kip
Lucybelle,, nothing before that,, we named her.
Tasha was just a # at the shelter too. Tommy was already Tommy, we left it because he was familiar with it and it seemed to fit him.
Cody's name was Tiger (did not fit him one bit). Willie was Willie and at the time I got him, I would have preferred renaming him but my mom liked the name. She wasn't too keen on getting him in the first place so I decided to not push the issue since she liked his name ;). Of course now I can't imagine him not being Willie. :)
Bitsy we named
Charlie was named Shortie
Buster and Nacey were both named and we kept the names the came with.
Disney was with her sister who was adopted by another couple at the same time we got Disney. They were named Sugar and Spice and I can't remember which one Disney was called.
Jasper's breeder used to call him "Holler".
The other two didn't have names.
Sierra name was an Indian word... I can't remember what it was.
It was somthing like Kirra.
Buddy was Barry ... that name had to go!!:D
I'm sure Bailey had a name when we got her from the shelter, but we don't know what it was.
Peej didn't have a name, but we originally named him Einstein. :o After a day or two he became PJ and now we only call him Peej unless he's in trouble. :D
I kept the shelter names for Killian and Shiloh.
Finn was only 7 1/2 weeks old when I got him, so, he wasn't named, yet. :)
I like the name Echo, but, wow! I love the name Stella! Any reason you don't like it? I know there are certain names I don't like just because of bad memories associated with them. ;) I've actually considered if I got a girl dog, naming her Estella (from Great Expectations, cuz the characters were named Fin and Estella!).Quote:

The first time I held him in my arms, I looked down and said.. hmm.. I want a different name, not one you hear everyday... a few minutes later, I told him his name was Teeko! :D
Buddy and Smokey didn't have names as small pups when
I adopted them. Maggie was called Polly Pockets by the young
daughter of the couple who found & fostered her for the rescue
group where I adopted her.:)
Well, I'm not sure if Major had a name or not where he was born, but in his 'temporary barn' where he was for a week...I think they called him Snoopy. I like that name for him lol.
Star and Wilbur both had their names already. My mom wanted to rename Star to "Wylie" and Wilbur to....I don't remember what...but she was outvoted both times and their names stuck! :)
When I was looking at Bedlington terriers in rescue I found one that the shelter was calling "Gunk" WTFlip?! Who names a dog "Gunk"?! :rolleyes: I would definitely have changed his name to Sterling.
Awwww....so was Priya. I think I still have her cage card with her inpound # on it.Quote:

Toby was called Jamie before we got him, but he cowered and ran every time someone said his name :(
My sister named Ollie, and yes, I'm the one responsible for naming a dog Squid, LOL :p Don't ask why I chose 'Squid' though, I don't know! :rolleyes:
Kaedyn was named Milo but didn't respond to it so I figured I might as well change it.
Gunk- Oh my goodness I almost peed my pants. Thats hilarious.Quote:
