Brody and Mia were both 'pre-owned' and named by their previous owners. I didn't change their names. However, with all the other cats and dogs I have named, the fur babies always seem to choose their own names...one kitty refused to accept "Pepper" and bunches of other names, even refused to look at me until, going through a list of names asking what HE wanted to be called, I said, "Smokey" and he whipped his head around to look me straight in the eye.
