Did your dog have a name before you got it?

Cali, I like the name Rosco!!

lol their is nothing wrong with the name, we had to change it because his prevoius 2 owners obviously had no clue how to train a dog, because you called him Rosco and he would run top speed in the opposite direction!

Reggie's name was Scooter as a pup.

I think my sister said that Sydneys name was Dolly.

Nebo wasn't named as a pup that I'm aware of.

Sadie didn't have an offical name, but they called her "twin" because she looked just like another puppy in her litter.

Spot was Spot...we kept the name he came with

Cincy was unnamed

Sammie was Happy
Maggie was Asta

Merlin used to be called Kip
Lucybelle,, nothing before that,, we named her.

Tasha was just a # at the shelter too. Tommy was already Tommy, we left it because he was familiar with it and it seemed to fit him.

Cody's name was Tiger (did not fit him one bit). Willie was Willie and at the time I got him, I would have preferred renaming him but my mom liked the name. She wasn't too keen on getting him in the first place so I decided to not push the issue since she liked his name . Of course now I can't imagine him not being Willie.

Bitsy we named
Charlie was named Shortie
Buster and Nacey were both named and we kept the names the came with.

Disney was with her sister who was adopted by another couple at the same time we got Disney. They were named Sugar and Spice and I can't remember which one Disney was called.

Jasper's breeder used to call him "Holler".

The other two didn't have names.

Sierra name was an Indian word... I can't remember what it was.
It was somthing like Kirra.

Buddy was Barry ... that name had to go!!

[PJ's Mom]

I'm sure Bailey had a name when we got her from the shelter, but we don't know what it was.

Peej didn't have a name, but we originally named him Einstein. After a day or two he became PJ and now we only call him Peej unless he's in trouble.

[Sudilar]

I kept the shelter names for Killian and Shiloh.

Finn was only 7 1/2 weeks old when I got him, so, he wasn't named, yet.

I was just wondering if your dogs had a name before you got it? All of mine did. please post what your dog's name used to be also

Tango was Flash
Echo was Stella (I HATE that name)
Tia was Kiki for a while but then we changes it

I like the name Echo, but, wow! I love the name Stella! Any reason you don't like it? I know there are certain names I don't like just because of bad memories associated with them. I've actually considered if I got a girl dog, naming her Estella (from Great Expectations, cuz the characters were named Fin and Estella!).

The first time I held him in my arms, I looked down and said.. hmm.. I want a different name, not one you hear everyday... a few minutes later, I told him his name was Teeko!
