Bayleigh was Angel when her previous owner surrendered her to the shelter. But I was taking her home to foster and my cat is named Angel and my director pressured me to come up with a new name quickly so I blurted out Gremlin.

I love the name and she does look like a gremlin. No one else liked it but she was my foster so I named her. Little did I know that three days later I was going to make it official and keep her.

Like I said, no one else liked the name Gremlin so I changed it to Bayleigh. Not sure why I chose that name other than I like it. I usually put a lot more thought into a name. For the longest time I was torn between spelling it normal Bailey or weird Bayleigh. We see which one won out.

I really wish I would have kept the name Gremlin. She's my dog but I let the others talk me out of it. Guess it sounds to boyish. Oh well... Poor thing doesn't even have any nicknames. She's just Bayleigh. Or on occasion, The Baby Werewolf.
