What Was Your Dog's Original Name?

[luvofallhorses]

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

[Alysser]

DREW!?? LOL! Sorry, that doesn't fit him at all IMO

Beanie was Rusty at the shelter.

Gracie was Wolfie until we found out she had no grace.

Jake was Male 2 at his breeder. i don't know if that qualifies as a name, but that's what they called him.

My sweet SAmmmyj was Rascal..which dont fit him at all..
and I name Yollie at 4 weeks..

Charlie's original name was Mikey! UGH! I'm so glad I changed it!

Mandy's name was Tess. I hated that name ... still do. Well, not the name, but it doesn't fit her.

Nova's name was Scout. I actually really like that name, but it is my friend's dog's name. Nova fits her better and I like the name better too. Though I could see myself naming a dog Scout in the future. I think it's a cute name.

Luka was Lulu. Gross gross gross! To me that name belongs on "foofy" little lap dogs, not a big goof like Luka! Luka fits her really well. To me the name is tomboy-ish, and she is really a big tomboy. I almost named her Luna to stick with the outer space theme, but it didn't fit her. Besides, Mandy isn't an outer space name and I doubt my next dog's name would have been even if Luka was Luna.

Hunter was Bam Bam at the rescue group.
Savannah was Anya from the person who rescued her. Nikka and Bear we kept the same.

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.

We got Star at 5 weeks old, we named her Blue Moon Star.
My RB Rosie was originally Elsa at the shelter. Pretty, but I liked Rosie better and it fit her personality.
Sherman was Sherman from the breeder, and he's such a Sherman. It's perfect for him. The breeder named him Destiny's Raise the Bar and they called him BarBoy till they settled on Sherman for a call name.
Speedo (remember him?) was first named Cloud. I called him Prince for a while, then my husband picked Speedo. It fit his outgoing personality. Not sure if his new family renamed him.

Thank you Gina for sending me the link to this thread!! (I posted Zoee in the cat thread )

Zoee's name at the breeders was Bonnee. We changed it to Zoee and kept with the double E theme she had for the litter without even realizing it.

We have lots of new PTer's. So let's hear from you!!

[critter crazy]

Dukes name was Barry White! Hubby immediately changed it to Duke, after the Bloodhound from The Beverly Hillbillies. It definitely Suits him!

[Sevaede]

Spankys name was originally Tar Tar ! That's what the lady had been calling her until I got her.
