Not to defend Tori's dog name (though I know you were just guessing), but it reminded me of a story. My step-son was reading about dictators and he couldn't get Mussolini's name right. He kept saying Mussiloni. He would never say it right. And we would crack up.
So we said that when we get a dog, we're just going to call it Moose in honor of his mixup. We didn't call our puppy Moose, mostly because the story is cute, but then you have to explain that the dog is actually named after that. So we named him Iggy, after my wife's favorite basketball player Andre Iguodala.

The pup's real name is Andre "Iggy" Doggy.
What a story! I think you wisely went with the safer name. I am still laughing at "Mussiloni," though!
