I'm sure the situation happens a lot- people get a dog from a rescue or previous owner and get stuck with a weird name like "Mr. Flufferpants," or anything that just REALLY doesn't... click well with you. :P
A lot of dogs learn their names early, so what do you do when you just fall in love with a dog but can't stand the name the original owner gave it? Re-name-train it or just deal with it?
