What Was Your Dog's Original Name?

[golden lover]

The breeder had named my dog Kinsoae, but I renamed him to Athos, because I though it was a much moe beautiful name, and worked much better for a Golden Retriever. Nice idea making this board, by the way

Don't remember what Murph's original name was.

Maddie's name was Trudy. I actually liked the name okay, but I was friends with a girl at work named Trudy. I felt that would be way too akward to name my dog after her. Madison fit her personality better anyway.

Oz's name was Cosmo. I had an ex who's cat's name was Cosmo. Didn't want my dog's name to be a reminder. I liked Oz better, cuz it had a connection to my Cairn Terriers too.

Gulliver's name was Lee. Oh gosh, too plain and so not Gull. He's way too unique in personality and coloring for such a plain name. Plain for a dog I mean. It would be a perfectly okay human name.

My godfather called her Snowball. LOL!

Roxy was Roxy. They just named her that out of the blue though, so she didnt respond to it very well. She almost became a Princess, but I honestly didnt think it fit her. She looks so more like a Roxy, so shes always had that name!

We named all of our dogs.
except Ginger (my mom inherited her from my grandmother when she passed away..)

Mickey's name from his owners was Drew.
The rescue called him Bandit.
Now we call him Mickey.

Molly had no name with her owners, whoever they are.
The pound called her Marlie.
Now we call her Molly.

Lucy had no name when we adopted her
The rescue we got Kodie from named him Bronco,then we re-named him Kodie because we didnt like Bronco that much

perky was who knows what with her multiple previous owners
the shelter called her biscuit, we absolutly hated that name and went through pebbles, and roxy before we settled on Perky.

Happys name was Happy lol
Blairs name was Blair

Misty?, actually I have no idea what the breeder called her, I only heard a few of the names they called the pups, I did not hear Mistys.

Ripley's first 2 owners and the shelter called him Roscoe, we change it because when he heard that name he ran full speed in the opposite direction.
