Well, it might take a few days/weeks for them to realize that you've changed their names. But they should be able to build that bridge.
They are not even aware that they have names, or pending ones for that matter
Hey Kids, I just got a puppy, 6 mo. old, he's in rescue. Meaning his previous owners were not taking care of him or feeding him much He kept getting skinnier.
He's just passing thru till I can find him a home, (most likely) as we have three cats and two dogs already.
Anyway, I'm looking for some names. His name now is Buddy. Wanna change that. One name that I like is Cerebus, Any ideas?
Not Miki tho. lol Some cool mythology name maybe?
Cool ! Pictures ?
Name him Alex.. lol
Phoenix: a mythical bird of great beauty fabled to live 500 or 600 years in the Arabian wilderness, to burn itself on a funeral pyre, and to rise from its ashes in the freshness of youth and live through another cycle of years: often an emblem of immortality or of reborn idealism or hope.
Garmr: In Norse mythology, Garmr or Garm is a dog associated with Ragnarök.
Fenrir: In Norse mythology, Fenrir or Fenrisulfr is a wolf, the son of Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Fenrir is bound by the gods, but is ultimately destined to grow too large for his bonds and swallow Odin whole during the course of Ragnarök.
Amarok: Amarok is the name of a gigantic wolf in Inuit mythology. It is said to hunt down and devour anyone foolish enough to hunt alone at night. Unlike real wolves who hunt in packs, Amarok hunts on his own. It is sometimes considered equivalent to the waheela of cryptozoology.
Argos: In Greek mythology, Argos was Odysseus' faithful dog. He waited for his master's return to Ithaca for over twenty years while most presumed Odysseus dead. He was the first (after those to whom Odysseus revealed his identity) to recognize the King returning from the Trojan War, even though Odysseus was disguised as a beggar to discover what had been going on in his palace during his absence. It was said that as soon as Argos recognized his master, he dropped his ears and did his best to wag his tail. Having fulfilled his destiny of faith by laying his eyes upon his master once more, he released a final whimper and died.
Argos was also the name of one of the 'hellhounds', the dogs of the underworld, brother of Cerberus.
Mungo: means 'little dog'.
Tyr: Tyr is the god of single combat and heroic glory in Norse mythology, portrayed as a one-handed man. In the late Icelandic Eddas, he is portrayed, alternately, as the son of Odin (Prose Edda) or of Hymir (Poetic Edda), while the origins of his name and his possible relationship to Tuisto (see Tacitus' Germania) suggest he was once considered the father of the gods and head of the pantheon. Tuesday is in fact "Tyr's Day." This is because the Anglo-Saxons at that time pronounced Tyr's name as "Tiw" thus giving his name to the 3rd day of the week.
