    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...

    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

    We when we first got Payson we had named him Neville then after a day or two we decided that we didn't like it so we renamed him Payson.

    Nope, all of my pets have their original names. Though I did name my rats Boo and Murphy for about the first hour lol. The only pets I've had that have gone through name changes were my old pit bull who was adopted and didn't have a name, so my mom's bf named him Spudz, and my old Siberian husky who was named Rauzha (like the tiger on Aladdin) but was a male, so we renamed him Cheeko. My stepmom thinks I should change Visa's name -- she thinks it's ugly. I think it's an awesome name, and I don't know of any other dogs named Visa.
    I've been BOO'd!
