Did You Change The Pups 'GIVEN' Name? I am in LOVE with this one pup, and she is a doll, and i've had a name picked out for ages on what to name my yorkie pup, will keep it secret until it all unfolds, hehe, but the original name though beautiful, is the name of a past pet i had that passed away and KILLED me inside..terrible memories of that (a cat, but cat or dog or iguana, i get attached), so i don't wanna stick to the name she was given, but not sure if that is proper ettique or not. did you change your pups name? i gotto believe there are MANY people out there, who get pups with weird names and change them, but this one already is like 14 wks old, would it be unfair? i'm a sensitive soul, you all are probobly going DUH of course you can change it. when we got our pug, he was also froma breeder, but not given a name, plus was only 8 weeks, so that was easy. thanks:) michelle |
It is fine to change the name the pup will adapt and learn the new name |
Yes, I did. Buddy was welped in Budapest, Hungary and the name listed on his paper's was Cerdi Odon:confused: I'm sure it ment something to his breeder but to me it ment a name change:p So my 3yrs old granddaugher Nicole named him Buddy. |
aww thanks:) i didn't know how the breeder may feel about it, AND the dog, but i guess they can 'adjust'..sort of makes me sad a lil, idk, like i said im a sensitive soul..i think of everyone including animals b4 myself, so i just wanted to be sure. OH yes, that name DEFINATELY needed a change. i can't imagine saying Cerdi Odon, everytime i wanted to call my dog, lol. buddy is very cute:) hugs, michelle |
Our first yorkie was a rescue.. it was on the condition.. new town and new name he was around 2 years old..we had no problem with him at all changing his name..so especially going to a new home new surrounding and new life makes it easy... Hope this helps... |
Don't worry about changing the dog name, he will adapt no problems and the breeder won't care. And you can always use both name to registered the dog if you want to keep the original name too. |
I changed both of my pups names... and they did fine =) |
Oh yes, I changed his name form the given name. My breeder picks strange names, in my opinion. His mom is Muffy and dad is Doey. Riot's given name was Deeker! lol |

To the OP- I've changed the names of every pet I ever got from the animal shelter. They come up with some pretty odd names. It always works out just fine. |
I wanted to change my dog's name when I got him from the breeder. His name is Harley and I thought it was waaaay too common and didn't make me think of him at all. I wanted his name to be Judah because he had a lion's heart in a tiny body lol! But everytime I tried to change it my friends and family would insist that they thought Harley was cuter and they loved his little name. I gave up. He's still Harls. I just wish I'd never told him the breeder's name in the first place lol! |

Wow, thank you. This should be very interesting. I did ask someone a couple of years ago and she said that dog's are named after streets and villages:( or towns. Can't wait. |
I definitely understand how you feel. My little Bella was originally named "Daisy." I think Daisy is an adorable name, but my mother fell in love with the name Bella. So I had the breeder start calling her Bella before I picked her up (nearly 2 weeks) to make the transition easier. Now she has a million nicknames and she answers to all of them. :p |
I think it is fine to rename him. I got Pixie at 13 months and while not a name I would have chosen sh looks like a Pixie so we kept it. |
my breeder refers to all of them as "puppies" or luvs or sweetie, so that there is no name confusion. When we picked my Dad's pup up and had to keep him 2 weeks it drove us NUTS because he was a surprise and didn't have a name. We refered to him as "little little" or "itsy bitsy" cause he is 2 pounds, but now he is Callum and an absolute DOLL! I think its odd for someone else to even try and name YOUR dog! Kate |
We changed Phoebe's name, her previous name, Miley although very cute, we just couldn't get used to it. She didn't care, she learned her new name the first day. |
