Nanook & Raustyk were shelter dogs. Nanook's previous name was unkown as he was found as a stray and the shelternever technically named him but they did call him something, I can't remember what it was.
Raustyk well I was her 5th home, she was 6 months old. She had a different name with each owner.
Edited to add that Kaige's breeder called him Red. lol
2 of my ferrets were also rescues, Skeet's name was changed to Skeetster & Biggie's name was changed to Biggie Smalls (because she was not that big lol).
I have never personally named an animal then changed the name. But a few times I would call an animal a few different names for the first few days. This helped me find a name that I liked, that the animal liked & one that would suit the animal too.
