[quote=Anonymous]Three dogs. First and third came with names we liked, plus they already knew them and responded to them (one was 1.5 and the other 11 (!!) upon adoption). The middle one was named by the rescue, and he didn't know the name at all. In his case, we tried out on him every name we could come up with, and when we said one name, he looked up at us with this "You got it!" look, and that was that. we tested him a few times, and he clearly knew that name (or some version of it) so that was his new name. I also work in dog rescue (hence the three adoptees), and like other PPs have said, if you are going to change a name, it's good to rhyme it. Though, I will say, our dogs have also learned to respond to nicknames over the years so they will learn a new name if it is used enough.[/quote]
