When I adopted Tucker, his name was Buddy. He had no problem adjusting to his new name at all. I called him Tucker Buddy for a day or two and then dropped the Buddy part. Also I heard that in naming dogs it is best to use a name with two syllables as so not to confuse his name with commands, as most commands have one syllable (come, down, sit, off).

Hey, try to say LabLover three times real fast.

And again, I have to say I am so glad you found your dog at a shelter.
