I did some research on how Native Americans acquired their name and the articles I read said that native American names were earned rather than given. Molly has worked hard to earn her Native American name of "Two Treats." Every time I take Molly for a walk and come back in she gets two treats. If I forget to immediately give them to her, she sits beside my chair at my computer desk and "reminds" me that I forgot to give her the two treats she has "earned." By earned, I mean she successfully went outside and used the bathroom and came back into the house.
I ran this Native American name by her and she liked Two Treats. She much preferred Two Treats to the other names I had thought she earned- Fat Dog Napping or White Dog Sleeps 24/7.
