My dogs all get named but never get called that in the end. They all end up with a nick name like Laddie my collie shepard I used to have. He tended to roll in stuff and smell fairly bad most of the time so we called him Stink or Poopin and he was happy answering to either. same type of thing for every dog I have ever had, they kind of reveal their inner self and that's what they end up being called.
EDIT: By the way don't get the wrong idea about Stinky Boy, he was a great and loveable member of our family and still sorely missed.
