Agree. Growing up I had a cat names Doggy, and a cat named Stupid! Neither knew what their name meant nor did they care as long as they were fed and loved daily!

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 thought I was the only one who gave their dogs nicknames :D

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
