| Previous Name? I was looking at rescues earlier today, bad Megan BAD I know... all I need is another baby.. but anyway- I was thinking about their names; Did your baby have a name when you first got them? Did you keep it or change it? When I got Tucker at 16 weeks they had been calling him "Scruffy" When I got Tripp he was named "Monty"

| The guy who gave her to my boyfriend said "Goodbye LaLa." I did not know this when I named her, but Lola and LaLa are pretty similiar.

| We rescued Brasco from a resue place, but his name was Rascal! So Rascal sounds like Brasco, so it wasn't too different! LOL! But then his 1st foster mommie contacted me, and when she had him, she called him Willy. Poor thing. And who knows what it was when he was a puppy and with his 1st owner! I think he went thru an identity crisis!

| My breeder wouldn't tell me Oscar's name before I had him - she didn't want to influence me - wanted me to be the 'official' namer...

| Some of the rescue gang I knew their names and left them with their names as they already were going through some pretty tough times..thank fully most of their names are fine...but some that came from the pound/humane society had to get new names but they seemed to adjust very easily to their new names...especially at dinner time. You know the old saying, "call me anything you want but just don't call me late to dinner"!

| They called Reagan Holly, which we almost kept. I love the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's and Audrey Hepburn's name in it was Holly. It stuck until the last minute when we finally changed it to Reagan, it was a close call between the two. Now though I can't imagine calling her Holly.

| Buddy was named Harry Potter but it just did not fit him. We tried about 20 names but he just is our Buddy.

| Renaming dog Scrappy was originally "Addison", or "Addy" for short. But I couldn't call a boy dog a girl name, sounded really strange to ME. So he took just fine to 'Scrappy" Lorin
