I had a dog named Newbie. The name had nothing to do with her when I adopted her; she was rescued from a dog fighting house (yet still somehow the sweetest dog I've ever met) and came with the name "Ariel." At the time she came into my life, I just thought "Newbie" a fantastic name for a dog.

Before the dog was around, I had mentioned that to my wife, then girlfriend, and justified it by saying it was short for "Anubis." Then my wife got a nametag for the dog with "Nubie" written on it and I thought it looked far too much like "nubile" so I changed my mind and went with a more honest spelling.

I can't remember any specific examples at the moment, but I'm pretty sure not a single vet tech/receptionist ever got Newbie's name right. She was so incredibly sweet, though, that every one of them loved her.
