Maybe just shorten it down to Gogo, She is adorable by the way. I have a Llaso/Poodle mix and they are the sweetest little dogs, you will love her

We adopted two new pups in June, gave them both new names. They were 7m, & 1yr, at that time, & neither had a problem getting use to their new names, so, I say, go for it! Give her a new name, a cute one, that fits her, & everyone will be happier!...
|
How about GoGo? It still retains part of the old name but changed slightly.

"What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Dogs don't speak the same language as humans, so the only negative connotation to that name is what you give it. If the connection is positive, why change? Dogs learn their name no matter what language you speak. |
I did the same thing. When I got my got she weighed under 10 obls (still does). She was just a year old. I called her "Itty Bitty", tried to come up with another name but this one fits hers. She's the sweetest and most loving thing. She listens to me like a dog (when I call her she comes, when I say stay so I can finish something before she pounces, she stays. She's my Itty-Bitty Lovey. Animals are so amazing. Love them!!

Oh! How I LOVE your Avatar!!!!!

I'd give her a new nickname along with what she knows. My Hunter for years thought his name was Nohunter.

All of our dogs have had multiple names. Cindy- AKA the Dowager Duchess of Dog; Missy AKA Miss-Miss or Big Dog; Mariah AKA Little Dog, Puppy-butt or Baby Dog; Beanie(a rescued registered Lab)AKA Miss Beans, Baby Beans, Beanie Baby or Pretty Girl; and Harley (another rescued purebread Lab)AKA Harley-Man, Big Guy or Harlford. They answer/answered to all the names with the exception of Harley. He's deaf. We can't figure out hand signals for all his names.
The only one we got to name was Mariah, everyone else can with their name and we didn't change them. |
Puppy-butt....LOL
|
This is a glowy
|
I would change it too. Go away has a negative tone to it and you don't want her to feel that vibe. Give her a cute name like Chelsie or Daisy. It won't take her long to learn it!

As you can see in the picture, she is buff color, so we named her Buffy. Within one week, she came to us when we called her name, Buffy. She is the sweetest little dog and so very loving. What a treasure we found in her. I think you can change your dogs name easily. Sure is a cutie! |
Maybe just call her go-go-girl?

Ooooh, what a cute doggie ! I don't know about her name but i think it's cute but she looks too precious to be called that but then again it's whatever you want it to be...
|
I like Buffy too ! Look at those eyes....can't resist them !
|
She is very cute. Give her a new name. When we rescued Harley her name was Spot and she was 6 yrs old. My husband renamed her Harley after his bike. She had no problem letting go of Spot and becoming Harley.
|
Apopular kids toy is called a ZU ZU PET..You could name her ZUZU-POO..or ZUZU for short...
|
She learned that is her name, let her keep it. We had a Shiztu who lived to be 15 years old; he went by the name of Axel Rose and my hubby also called him Fat Ass. That sweet little dog knew both names were his. An aunt of my hubby's had a poodle who was called Pissers because that dog 'hit' everything in the yard.
|
I HAVE AN ENGLISH COCKER THAT ADOPTED US 2 1/2 YEARS AGO THAT WE CALL POOCH. IT IS THE ONLY NAME HE RESPONDS TO NOW
|
Since you have called her Miss Go Aqay, how about Missy. I have heard that you dhould put an E sound on the end of a dogs name, it is easier to say when you call them.
|
I think Chloe is cute and sounds similar as someone already mentioned.

How about Addy....short for adorable? |
I saw a Scottie, a show dog, named Hot damn and Hallelujah
You could change her name to Go Play |

I had a cousin who's dog ended up being called "Too late" because it was always late for meals and it's siblings had cleaned the bowls. (But he got his bowl refilled! :-P ) |
We adopted a cat from a shelter and they told us "his" name was Mike. I told the lady it was a girl cat and she was firm it was a boy. Vet agreed with me. Her name is still Mike. Go Away does sound a little harsh for such a sweet little thing.

I agree with our pets usually having more then 1 name. My son tells me I have a problem with never calling a pet by their given names.

I think she looks like a Sweetie. I would call her Sweetie or Sweetie Pie.

I had to change a male cat's name once. We were told he was a female and we named him "Bethany." He was answering to it when we found out he was a male, so we started calling him "Benny." He didn't seem to notice the difference. Eventually, it ended up getting lengthened out to Benjamin and he always knew who he was. I'd suggest thinking of something that sounds like her name now and change it gradually. Go-ee could eventually become Zoe.
|
call her Goway. It is close enough to sound the same to her and sounds interesting to humans.
|
Change it. She is so cute and needs a cute name.
|
how about 'cutie pie' .. we had a male dog like yours and we called him 'skidmore' cuz he was always skidding across the tiles.

I was thinking Zoe, too.

If you want to change her name, change it. It's your decision. It's really not hard to do. Just start saying "Go Away *insert new name*" Then start dropping the "Go Away" until she responds to the new name only. We adopted a one year old lab mix (avatar photo) and I changed his name within a few days. We've had him 2 years and now he doesn't even recognize his old name.
|
I think you should leave it as it is because she knows
that name. |
When I was showing dogs, I held the leash to potty them, and said HurryUp so often that could have been their name
