They come with a name from the shelter and they tell us we’re not allowed to change it (even though they did!) so we always just kept whatever the shelter picked

I’d just smile and nod, and then give my new family member whatever name I wanted later that same day. Shelter tryin’ to tell me I can’t name my own pets?? They can get outta here with that noise…

You can call it a nickname then but they might already know the one they came with.
