Dog names are what you really want to choose, and many dogs end up with many names. So for example, if you call a dog Fanny, she becomes Fanny Bananny. However, it is a good idea, if you can, to choose a name that's maybe one or two syllables. So, Fanny, Ava, Ruby, Laudie, Hedda, as these are names that I choose, and I like old fashioned names. I've got a client who has Kookaburra right now, and I said to her when I went to see her, "What's it going to be for short"?, and she said "Oh, Kookaburra". Well, if you want to say Kookaburra, go ahead. The dog will respond, it's not a problem.
