I didn't name Pepper and I'm not crazy about it, but I have no clue what else her name would be. Plus she's been Pepper for almost the entire time I knew her (not counting when she was a tiny nameless puppy) so I never really thought about changing it. Since I never planned on a bitch and still don't plan on it, I don't even have a girl name list, so no clue what I would pick instead. I can't really look at her and see any other name.
Auggie is 100% Auggie. My two top picks at the time were Auggie and Harley, but after we went to visit the pups and I picked which one I wanted, Harley wasn't really in the running anymore. Auggie was right from that very moment.
Payton is definitely the right name for him too. Honestly when I was trying to pick his name, I settled on Payton early, then vetoed it because so many people kept going "Oh Peyton Manning, I love him!" NO. So I tried about fifty different names, but after a week of being unable to feel like anything else "fit" properly, I realized that Payton was it. I was sitting outside going over my name list with my mom, and I went through the entire list and nothing felt right, and I just put the paper down and said "Payton." We looked at each other and I said it again, "Payton. That's it." "Yeah. That's it." I think Payton was truthfully the only name that was ever really right. I just can't think of anything that would be better for him, because we tried, LOL.
Georgie has a perfect name too. The only other real possibility was Monkey, and her co-owner vetoed that one. She wanted Rockette, but it wasn't working. We tried just Rocky but that wasn't right either. I looked up girl names and stumbled on Georgette, which I liked and thought "it's close to Georgia." But we were 100% sold on it. So I suggested "Georgie" for short. We get the reference to Georgia, plus a reference to Curious George (monkey!). Again I don't think there's anything better that would have worked for her.
