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

I thought he was Batman

I thought he was Batman

Oh well, that too. That's what the breeder had named him! So I guess he has two first names!

We called Major "Shadow" at first, which I really didn't like that much for him. The people we got him from called him "Snoopy" which I think really fits him ahah. But he's Major, which is best.

Tango was Flash

[CathyBogart]

Star and Wilbur were the names we adopted them with. We thought briefly about changing Star to Wiley ('cause she's my little Coyote!) but she already responded to Star and I like that name better. Wilbur just....fits. He was named after the piggie in Charlotte's web by the rescue, his sister was Charlotte.

Molly and Astra didn't have any names as we got them when they were puppies.

Prince on the other hand was originally named Taco Bell by his 'owner'. We changed it to Prince because we had a neighbor with two chihuahuas named King and Queen so being the third Chi on the block, we called him Prince.

We named Fritz after Mom saw a story in the paper with that name.The name on his Canadian Kennel Club papers is Als Junior Macklin.

[tikeyas_mom]

I named tikeya at 6 weeks.. it has always been her name.

I think Oscar was named Panda by his breeders.

Babys original name was Roxy.

Ebonys name has always been Ebony.. Named after her mom, who died in a fire trying to save a girl..

Daisy has always been Daisy..

Sierra was named by the rescue I adopted her from, her name was Kierra (something like that) it was pronounced with a rolling "R"
Buddy was named Barry at the shelter I adopted him from.

[BitsyNaceyDog]

We named Bitsy from a Puppy, that's been her only name.

Charlie was named Shorty when we got him, it didn't fit him whatsoever.

Buster came with his name, we kept it because it fit him so well and we had other obstacles to overcome with him, we didn't need to add a name change to it.

Nacey came with her name, it's different and we really like it, also it fits her well. A few people I know didn't like the name Nacey and tried to convince us to chance it to Lacey, but that didn't fit her. She's our dog and if other people don't like her name that's too bad.

Nova was roughly 9 months old when we found her. We never found out what her original name was.

[gemini9961]

We got Sadie and Maggie as pups so those are their original names. Grant was named Grant at the shelter and we kept it. I tried to change it but hubby didn't like my names for him, they were too girly. Besides, Grant fits him.

[tricollie4me]

Although we adopted Bijou as a pup from the shelter when she was about 14 weeks old, she had never been named. So she's always just been our Bijou!
