is 8 months to old... to change a name...im really thinking this is a stupid question and hopefully i dont get laughed at but me and my hubby isnt real fond of toto.....we would like to change his name but is that impossible... dont ask me why but he looks like a tater....LOL |
LOL! Tater is cute. Perhaps you should just start calling him Tater as a nickname. :) |
I got Meiah when she was almost 1 year old ! Her name was Pebbles. I changed her name to Meiah (obviously :)) It was just a matter of days and she was responding to Meiah. AND, she likes "Meiah" better anyways ;) |
how did you make the change to where she understand that your talking to her? I say tater to toto and get no sponse even when i whistle....:confused: |
I just used "Meiah" everytime I addressed her. She caught on real quick...like just a couple days :) |
If Toto seems slow on the pickup.... Or just terrier stubborn... Try calling Tater Toto. He'll get used to the Tater name really quick. Besides all the guys that are adopted from the shelters learn their new names. So will Tater. Go for it! It's an adorable name! |
She will learn very fast . This morning , I went to pick up a 1 year old girl and intend to change her name too . |
Hi, I don't think its too late to change the name. I didn't get my Princess Pia until she was about 1 yr. Her name before that was Stephanie. I just kept called her by Pia and within 2 days she knew I was talking to her. I think your baby will learn. Just keep saying the new name. Good Luck!! |
Tater sounds so close to Toto, he'll probably figure it out really quickly. One thing we did in puppy class to get them used to responding to their name was to say their name and as soon as they look at you hand off a treat. We did this 4 or 5 times in a row, everyday for a week. Might help speed things up! |

Use both names for a while, the new one first, then the old one, she will eventually begin to respond to the first one because she will be anticipating the second one. To them it isn't a name, it's just a familiar word that means treats or pets. |
just ti let you all kow..Toto is a boy!!!!!!! Breny was talking about her GIRL...:):D :D |
