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.
My client (Blorp) really isn’t friendly with my camera, so I’m sorry I can’t easily upload more photos, but no one should ever have to live not having seen Newbie.
So cute! She almost looks like this pit mix that has trekked across half the state and ended up at our doorstep twice… I think the second time a new family adopted him thankfully. We temporarily named him Bruce because he was a silly goose.

No nooby photos?
Okay, this is my second attempt.

You don’t know what you’re requesting, but I’ll start gently. While crying. (I really miss Newbie)
edit: Messed up the formatting but Newbie was still the best fucking dog ever.
