True. I've seen many a dog named by my friends who absolutely hate the given name. One of the funniest scenarios was a lovely couple we knew had gotten just a magnificent Rottweiler with true German bloodlines.
So to be fitting with this just beautiful beast they tried naming him Thor; then Odin; then Conan etc.
The puppy hated all the names.
We were over for dinner and just for a joke my husband said "try Bobby". The pup ran to him instantly.

My friends wanted to kill my husband; but the dog is named "Bobby" to this day.
