I think changing it should be fine. Smokey's original name was Coby, but the lady that took him in to find him a good home, renamed him Smokey. I decided not to change it at the time because he had already been through so much trauma, but he has so many nicknames it's ridiculous and responds to each one. Mostly we call him Moke or Mokey and he responds better to that than his real name! LOL
