What Is Your Pet’s Name and What WERE They Going To Be Named!?

[ShrekDawg]

Like the (very long) title says, I’m curious to know if anyone has a pet that originally was going to be called something different from their current name. Maybe they came with a name and you hated it or maybe you just couldn’t decide on a name and it took a bit to choose, etc. I’m curious about this. So post yours! This is open to all animals, not just dogs or cats. Please post their current name as well as the name you were going to name them. Thank you!!!!

I’ll start.

My dog, Brewster, came with his name and it ended up growing on me so I kept it. BUT!!!! I thought about naming him Finnegan (Finn for short) or something like that. I can’t imagine calling him that now

My dog Timber came with the name Ringo. He spent about a day and a half with the stand-in ‘Sausage’ until Timber was settled on.

Also, my neighbors renamed their dachshund from Gertrude to Casey.

Well, my sister and I were originally were going to name my rooster "Cow" because he looked like a Brown-headed Cow Bird when he was little, but I suggested the name "Bunting" because I thought the name would suit him. We both couldn't decide, so we chose to name him both. His name is "Cow Bunting" now.

My dog was always Evangeline. I did maybe think of calling her something else for about two seconds, but I don’t remember what that was now.

Lots of my chickens have different names than what was originally intended.
