Originally Posted By Labuda Kudos to you 9on lovely name choices, Jim, AND... kudos to trailsend for coming up with Fred & Ginger! That's what I named the lobsters Eric brought home for dinner one night. He wasn't hungry anymore after I named them and made them dance after he'd cooked them. lol

Originally Posted By xrayvision Fred and Ginger works well as my neighbors named their two dogs the same thing. People think the Hollywood reference is so cute, if they pick up on the reference. You should play a little game when introducing the dogs to friends. Introduce the dogs separately. Then, track how long it takes each friend to put the names together to figure out the "Fred & Ginger" reference. Some people "get it" right away, while other people will take longer or never get the reference at all. It's fun to privately compare which friends are more clever-minded than others. Just don't tell your friends you're analyzing their intellect using your dogs.
Originally Posted By AuroraRose the easiest way to change a dogs name is to link the new and old--call them boomer and monica when you get them home, until they respond to you and your commands, then start with the new name boomer-fred & monica-ginger use them until they get used to it, then try fred-boomer and ginger-monica, then drop their old names entirely. works everytime. But i wouldn't change their names, i wouldn't want someone to call me someting diffeent and expect me to understand or pay attention : )--lol
