never changed any of my rescues names before, only considering because she came in a stray at 12, shes only been given this name for the space of weeks maximum. doesn't seem to be responding to agatha at the moment so seeing it as a why not really rather than continue to teach her a name I'm not a fan of.

If she's already responding to Agatha, perhaps Ayla might worth as it starts and end they same. I quite like Aggie though too

Im not sure if I like the 'Ag' sound, at the end of the day if she responds to it itll stay but im just thinking because shes a stray and only just been made available for homing shes not really had time to get to connected with Agatha
Congrats on your new addition!!!!

I once took on a dog called Lassie, she was a Labrador/Whippet, her previous life hadn't been very good so we changed her name to Tommy, hubby was an Everton supporter she was called after Tommy Lawton a player. Once she realised we were calling her Tommy, she refused to respond to Lassie, it took 24 hours for this.
I fostered a dog called Billy who arrived on the anniversary of my husband dying so I couldn't call him that, another who had a bad past, I changed his name to Bertie Bassett, another who refused to respond to his old name.
Most of us call our dogs by several names anyway, I used to have one that answered to Sausage and Dolly answers to Little Sh**

I really like the name Abigail, which can then be Abbie. I think that would suit an elderly lady
In any case, congratulations to the new addition and well done for rescuing her, I'm sure she'll live her days out happily with you!

Now as much as she has pulled my heartstrings, she came in as a stray and as much as I try to imagine I just can't picture myself calling out 'Agatha' for a recall. "totts, amber, agatha' just doesn't roll of the tongue. I thnk its a lovely name for the old dear but I just don't think it sits with me as long as she's not been trained to it which it doesn't seem she has....soo looking for possible name help?
So far thinking if she still isn't responding to Agatha-
Sandy- from the stray in Annie because recently lost my gran who's name was Annie (although we called her nancy)
or Lana (been watching a lot of Archer recently) possibly Luna?? I really don't know if i should even consider changing her name
any other suggestions?
not thought much more than that so far and its still not 100% she's coming home...just 99.99%. Please keep fingers and paws crossed for us
Agatha/Agnes/Aggie/Luna or waddever you end up calling her (and I'm sure she won't give a fig!) is very lucky to have found you! Perhaps just call her Lucky!
