My Rottweiler mix's name is Madison, which is the name she came with when I adopted her. Liked it and saw no reason to change it.
My chow mix is a different story. His name was originally Clifford (as in 'the big red dog'). But whenever I hear that name, though, I think of Clifford Olsen (Canadian serial killer who targeted young boys). So I ended up renaming him Frankie (he didn't respond to Clifford anyway). My grandmother had had a spaniel- Border Collie mix named Frankie and I fell in love with the name (plus that Frankie was a girl, so the unisex aspect just made it cooler in my opinion).
