| Changing her name? I just got Riley the sister he's always wanted. She is 8 months old and only 3 lbs. She is adorable and it couldn't of worked out any better. I got her from someone who couldn't keep her anymore. Her name is Chanel and I'd like to change it. People have told me that as long as I change it soon, she'll get use to a new name. Is this wrong of me? These are the names I like: Lilly, layla, Haley, lucy, holly, heidi, ava, emma, and daisy. I need a girly name because she is such a little princess. Any suggestions? |

| When Maggie (She's my avitar) came to us her name was Baby. We had Bailey & she didn't look like a "Baby". The first week she stuck to me like a magnet and out of that came Maggie. It took about 2 days for her to learn her new name. Whenever she goes back to her old owners for a visit she's back to Baby for them. I love your list of names....It's hard to pick one.

I was afraid to upset them more....I wanted to call Casper - Bobby, but I liked Tammy as it was a "T" ! All our dogs have been a "T" except for Casper and he is unique anyway ! I like his name now, but it took a bit of getting used to, and we often call him "Mannie" - TRIXIE TASHA TARA TAMMY so far ! Debra x x x x 1. Tara 7 years 2. Casper 4.5 years 3. Tammy 4 years 4.

Therapy Dog Donating Member | I like Haley since it sort of goes with Riley! I think you can get away with changing her name now since she is so young. Congrats!

| I really don't think that's an issue. She is a cutie pie...I saw your post in a local meet up forum. We're both members of the same group! |

| I think she will be fine with a new name since she's so young. I wanted to change Hallie's name to Sadie but she was 2 1/2yrs when I got her and I thought she had been through enough. Of course I'm partial to Hallie as a name but I Love Emma too |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I got Pixie at 13 months and I kept her name as she just looked like a Pixie. But I think you can change it pretty easily.

| Do not worry she will get use to her new name. I adopted a 4 yr 3 months ago. Her name was Marshmallow and I changed it to Maggie Mae Just put her old name in front of her new name and slowly take away her old name. I like LILLY..

| Thanks for all the suggestions! I still don't have a name for her. But I need one asap so I can get her insurance. She needs to get lots done at the vet (spayed, teeth pulled, and microchipped). It's between Layla and Lilly now...but it seems everyone likes Emma. Oh, what to do??? Sassypup, that's fun you're in the meetup group. I'm gonna try to make it on Saturday (miss no name has her first grooming appointment). I'll have to check out your Web site for some new girly stuff. I already got her lots of goodies but she needs more. I'm definitely going to the shop and swap. I have tons of stuff and need to make room for more! |

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Pixel. I'm going to keep suggesting it until someone takes me up on it. When we rescued Jack at age 10, his name was Cuddles. While I'm secure enough in my manhood to own Yorkies, that was going too far. He never had any problem learning his new name.
