Congrats to the whole family.
The name change reminds me of what I did with one of my strays. She was chipped but her family moved to Dallas and she was left behind or lost and we couldn't reunite them. But we knew her name. It was Tiffany. The dog was very sweet but I hated the name Tiffany and yet felt like I couldn't take her name away. But, by stealth, I changed it. Over a few months, I started calling her Tiffaroo, then Tiffaroonie and then finally Roonie. She was quite happy to answer to Roonie and looking back, I suspect I did too much work. She was such a love bug, she probably would have responding to anything as long as it meant love and attention.
