I'm thinking I kind of want to go with a short phrase meaning "meant to be" or something that has to do with new experiences because she really will be my real intro into the world of dog sports and I have big dreams for her.

Or a short phrase that describes her happy, sassy personality.

I wish there was a poet in the family haha. This is so hard! I want a really good registered name.
I think you should call her Muse! "An instance or period of reflection" just seems perfect for your situation for the switch! AH AH AH! I don't know why I'm so excited about this. Plus it would be pretty cool with Twist of Fate. ;)

What about Moira or Nona?

Nona is the Roman name for the Fate Clothos, who spun the thread of life.

Moira is the Greek word meaning basically "a piece of the picture" or "a part of the life" brought on by Fate. Something like destiny, but more like something that comes into your life that is proof destiny exists.

But I LOVE Twist, or Fate, and a bunch of the others in here.

I also think Foxtrot is cute, and you could call her Fox, Foxy, or Trot.

Fran, that picture is adorable!! :D I don't even know how many times I've gone through each puppy album now haha. I just can't help looking at them all, especially now that I know one is mine.

As far as the name goes: Still haven't decided. I am pretty certain that her registered name is decided, but I don't know if I like either of the call names for her when I try to imagine calling her either (Twist or Fate). They're good names, but looking at her, she just doesn't look like either of them to me. I'll probably wait to have her home for a few days before I really decide on a call name for sure. Just means it might not match the registered name, but I guess that's ok. It's cuter when the two names go with one another though. We'll see what happens. Maybe I'll change my mind once I get to know her in person a bit.

That's my plan too. I keep putting off ordering tags and such... I can list names all day long but I won't know what's right until I meet him I don't think lol

I also have a sinking feeling he may just stay Duke. I keep calling him Duke in my head.. I feel like it's going to be a tough habit to break lol

Yeah, I haven't ordered any tags or anything either because with my luck I'll probably change my mind once I actually get to spend some time with her.

I am so used to her as Nina and I think that's why I'm having such a hard time. If I didn't have a relative with that name I might have just kept it, but I can't have an aunt and a dog with the same name lol.

I have a cousin named Summer. We always get laughs about it. My other cousin (her brother) never fails to mention how it makes him so happy I chose to name a dog after his sister. :p (I didn't. She was already named)

Have you looked up your call name ideas in various languages? That would give you more options but still tie in well with registered names.

I think she could be a Fay or Faye (short for Fate).
