I've agonized over choosing names for my dogs but can't bring myself to name my chickens, just in case they need to go to freezer camp seems like it would be easier that way...well that's my logic anyway, lol.
This is Soops(like soups), the breeders kids called him Snoopy the breeder called him Snoops my 2 year old called him Soop. He's a 1 1/5 year old Treeing Walker Hound English Foxhound.
I have two - the one in my avatar is Churchill - I am a big WW II buff and it just fits him. My other dog is a golden retriever named Joplin (as in Janis).
Without posting our last name that is part of their AKC names, our german shepherds are Kane and Ajax (Jax); but both have many nicknames. Jax goes by Booger, Boog, Boogerhead and, when he's in trouble, his full name....Ajax vom __________. Kane goes by Boo most of the time; also BooBoo, BooBoohead, Goof and like Jax, his full name when he's in trouble....Kane vom _________.
