[nagdu] dog names

[Tracy Carcione]

I've always thought, if I really couldn't stand a dog's name, I should
change it to something that sounds similar, so it wouldn't be as
confusing.  So, I could have changed Glade to Grace, for instance.
However, Rox and Mardi explained how to change a name to something
completely different, so, like Nicole said, it's really up to you. 
Personally, I wouldn't pick a name everyone calls.  Many people think
black labs are named Shadow, and try calling my dog by that name.  I
wouldn't like that.  But Leader dogs often have usual dog names, and they
do fine.
If I was going to give my dog a new name, I'd try to think what name would
suit her personality.  Is she a Daisy?  A Jenny?  A Queeny?  A Princess? 
Only you can decide.
