I just got a puppy a couple days ago. She's 12 weeks old and is already named Brownie. I don't have anything against the name except that I would like something more appropriate for her. She's not all that brown. I think if I were to give her a food/dog name it would be Cinnabun. At least that's more original. Plus the brown parts of her coat are swirly like cinnamon and the white is like frosting. Is it ok to rename her? If so what name suggestions do you have?

depends on how much you care about her

if she is nothing but a food name then go ahead and food name her

but if you care for her then give her a thoughtful name

1/3/2008 2:14:52 AM

how about Elise? I always loved that name.

1/3/2008 2:20:04 AM

She hated everyone not in the immediate family.

1/3/2008 3:21:12 AM

adele or cinnabun? I think those are the two names she responds to the best.

1/3/2008 3:42:58 AM

Just change her name monthly. See how long it takes her to adjust.

my buddy's grandma names all of her pets "kevin" she has two cats and a dog all named kevin. its kinda weird

1/3/2008 7:35:48 AM

that is weird.

not as weird as my niece having an invisible dead friend named kevin though.

1/3/2008 7:41:44 AM

ahttp://www....she's cute

1/3/2008 7:43:20 AM

Cannelle is too pretentious and she doesn't look like a pretentious dog.

Go with Cinnabun, that way you can scratch her on the back of the head and go "buuuuunnnnnnnn, you such a good girl" or, when she's being bad give a sharp stern "bun!"

Can you really do that with Cannelle? No, no you can't.

1/3/2008 8:01:03 AM

name it dammit, so you can be like, "come here dammit!"

1/3/2008 8:50:06 AM

Name her Janet.

Definitely Janet.

1/3/2008 9:59:06 AM

1/3/2008 10:15:30 AM

sumbitch

1/3/2008 10:16:43 AM

i'd call it coke whore, judging from that first pic

1/3/2008 10:22:19 AM

i mean how would you like it if you were sold and your new owners tried to change your name??

1/3/2008 10:26:15 AM

My dog was a year and a half when we got her, and we changed her name.

1/3/2008 10:55:58 AM

my last dog was named brownie when we got him--which is gay--so we changed it to john wayne

1/3/2008 10:58:19 AM

Dogs dont know thier names

They just know the sound of the first part of their names

So since you've been calling her Brownie, change it to something else with a Br- sound

so something like Brick, Brawny, Britney, Brian or Brittanica

1/3/2008 10:58:27 AM

I renamed my dog when he was 2 or 3 years old, but it wasn't a big change. He went from Nikki to Mickey. Who the fuck names a male dog Nikki?

1/3/2008 10:58:40 AM

^My friend had a super retarded male Japanese Chin named Nikki. I think it was short for Nicholas though.

1/3/2008 11:54:45 AM

id go with sporty

family tradition

1/3/2008 11:56:07 AM

^^ Aww, I love those. Or at least the one I met for ~15 minutes once.

1/3/2008 11:56:52 AM

food names always work... for instance... my cat Grits!

BTW, animals respond to the WAY you say their name, not really what you call them. I have a dog named "Little Girl", and we call her Hoochie, Peeb, Heem, and a whole list of other names. my other dog Tonka - Bonkey, Honkey, Booga Head, and a bunch of other names. Grits goes by Munkin and My Love. Its all in how you talk to them rather that what you say to them.

1/3/2008 12:23:45 PM

should use a people name like Jessica, Lindsey, Liz, Beth, etc. People alwayss give you strange looks when you tell them the name.

1/3/2008 12:43:15 PM

haha, you change it from brownie to darkie

1/3/2008 12:47:23 PM

that's a cute dog....and my name is rory

and i changed my dog's name when i got her. i don't think anyone really called her by the name anyways, since she wasn't really loved before i acquired her....
