Has your dog got renamed?

[boxer_babe]

Hi, have you named your dog something, then renamed him? That has happened to ALL of my dogs.

Nope. Fenway came as Fenway & since I'm a Red Sox fan, he stayed Fenway. I named my kitty Cosmo & never changed that. However, I first named another kitty Moose, but changed it to Maxie. Now I'm thinking I should have kept Moose because he's as big as one. But he's also a Maxie too.

Cool thread.

angel duke was known as bert (as in ...and ernie). he walked like john wayne, so i renamed him for the duke, after 3 days, he responded only to duke. i bet the cookies and ear skritchies every time i said his name didn't hurt either...

Kodie was bronco when we got him,but we hated the name.
Lucy wasnt named yet when we got her.

My dogs have come to me with other names but no, my family hasn't named them something and then changed it.

Before we named them though Tango was called Flash and Keeva was Ebony. Tia's always been Tia and Winston has probably always been Winston. I personally don't like Winston's name but he's already 8 so we didn't want to change it....

Sadie was known as "Twin" in her litter, because she looked like one of the other puppies. It wasn't really a name, but how the people who rescued her mom reffered to her. I don't remember the other puppies names, expect "hammer" (the runt) and "nine" (Sadie's twin). Spot was named by his former family as a puppy, and I don't think the woman who had Cincy's mom called any of the puppies anything.

Shadow was the only one who went through a name change. When I first got her I just couldnt find a name that suited her...we went through lots of names..and finally i named her Shadow because she is black and follows me everywhere

Vanilla came to us as Priscilla. But I know a woman who is an irritating flake named Priscilla, and there was no way I could have a dog named that. So I asked my son to think of a name that sounded like Priscilla. He said, "Ummmm .... Chinchilla?" Ummmmm .... no. LOL So he says, "How about Vanilla." Perfect.

Lucky, Pepper and Georgie came to me with those stupid names, and I just kept them.

Keito and Queenie were unnamed, so we did get to actually choose two names "from scratch."

[PJ's Mom]

Peej (PJ) has always had his name. Bailey came to us as an unnamed shelter dog, so we named her ourselves, but never changed her name.

Rex was named Gigolo by his first owner. I changed his name first thing after adopting him last year.

Nope, we got Holly when she was 11 weeks old, and we were the first to name her.
