Ever thought of changing your doodles name?

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

I had such a hard time naming our doodles. DH and I had our childrens names picked out while we were dating, so we never really agonized over it like I have the doodles. Then one day I realized I could change the dogs names anytime I wanted, as it's not like they have a Legal Birth Certificate or anything. Or I'd have to go to Court to get it changed.

I am seeing SO many dogs named Bella and I have never been the type to follow suit just because it was popular in anything. It bothers me a tad that it is so common. Who knew?

I think she would come to just about anything I called her. I tried "Come here Doggy" the other day and she came.

No, I wouldn't name her "Doggy" but you get the point.

So I am just tossing around some new names but do you think she'd have an identity crisis if I were to change it? Would she even care or notice? Just a thought.

I especially LOVE Clover's name so I am glad you didn't change it!

HAHA

I have to say I would not change Fudge and Vern's (Vernors) names. I still love them and they suit them. I always loved the name Megan and we named our oldest daughter Megan Elizabeth. In her high school class there were 5 other girls named  Megan Elizabeth. I know the name got popular because of The Thornbirds. Hey, I had the name first :) I think Camilla is right about Twilight. Bella is your dog and I think she would get used to a new name.

You know, if you want to change it, I think you should.  Like you said, it isn't locked into any legality.  Why not? We changed Clancy's name when we got him to something we preferred.  He learned his new name - of course we never knew what his original name was, but he was given a shelter name.

I think it would be fine to do so while they are young. Bella is VERY common but she's your Bella so the choice is yours.

I've wavered between Sophie and 'Sophie Bear'. I originally wanted to go with Sophie Bear but people were like "really?". It did feel kind of cheesy, but she's cute like a little bear so I thought it was fun. Then I went to just Sophie, then some people said "why are you giving her a human name??". That's when I realized I couldn't win and it didn't matter what anyone things anyway. So she is my Sophie Bear and that's that. That being said, I call her "doodle" "monkey" "munchkin" "sweetie pie" and a ton of other stuff. She likes 'Monkey', responds to it every time ;-) I don't think it matters what you call your doodle, as long as you do it with a smile in your voice.

 

I think Bella is pretty, but eventually  I'd probably end up turning it into 'Belly' and the "Belly Bear' or 'Jelly Belly'  and on and on... 

 

We should do a seperate post on doodle nick names. I'd love to hear what some of the others are calling their doodles.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Roon E Doodle or just Doodle

 

What would be a nick name for Stuart?  Hmmm - don't know. 

[cheryl & oliver]
