What Was Your Dog's Original Name?

[Seravieve]

Zeke was originally 'Forny'. I just couldnt live with that name. Change the F or add some letters to the end.. shoot. And when we'd tell people what his name was back then.. theyd look at us odd.

Bunny was 'Isabelle'. She and Zeke were both strays, so the pound named them both. Is a belle.. too long for a dog. And she didnt know it. She gets hunkered down and runs around the house like a bunny.. Hence 'Bunny'. And she's got a little nub tail like a rabbit. We tried Sierra.. it was too long.. Kenya.. didnt stick. But she responded quickly to Bunny.

Eli was 'Chase'. I couldnt remember it and kept calling him Chance. lol. And I dont like either name.. so we brainstormed and my J came up with Eli.. supposedly short for Elliot. But its 'Eli' or 'Little Man' around here.

Great idea for a thread!

Boo boo we got as a puppy so his name never changed.. i was only 2 when we got him, and the only thing me and my twin sister could say was Boo boo.. so that's what my mom named him.

Maggie was maggie... my sister wanted to change it to Lucy, but it didn't fit her so I wouldn't let her.

Autumn was Queenie.... it does not fit her at ALL, plus it's kind of a weird name if you ask me. Autumn was only about 12 weeks old when I got her, and that was over 2 years ago... still to this day if she isn't paying attention and you say it she spins right around. My grandpa will call her Amber sometimes, because thats what he though she should be named because of her color.

Tinny was Princess Panda for the first four weeks of life, then her old owners changed it to Tin Tin & now i call her Tinny.

Harri was Gordie from the moment we knew his Mum was in whelp. When the pups were born it just did not suit him. He was going to be Dexter, Parker, Rummy (Pedigree name is Rum n Raisin). I still adore Dexter and Parker as names and will use them in the future.

Belle's name was Belma when she was at the Kennel. LOL what a goofy name. But we had Belle picked out before we even met her and it suits her because she IS beautiful.

And Beezers name at the kennel was Presley. I like the name Beezer because it fits our "theme" and it sounds silly just like him

Jasper was a Jasper at the shelter. I was planning on changing it since he didn't know it yet, but it suits him so well.
