I bought a cat once from the local shelter. They named her Drop Off because she was left at the door. Obviously I changed it to Sadie.
After that, we bought a four year old yorkie whose name was Baby. I tried to change her name to Zaz Zoo (after on old time actress) but one day she slipped her leash collar (scared me to death!)ran from our yard toward the street and I called her and called her by the new name we were using but she wouldn't stop so I screamed BABY and she came right back. From then on we just went with Baby
for the 15 years we were blessed with her. We just bought our second Yorkie who is 6 mo and already named Hazel. I kinda think it's a cute name so we'll keep it!
