That's why I sometimes think that "Bracken" would have been a more appropriate name for her. We chose "Lily" as a quick escape from the "Wilma" that her lovely Stoneage puppy farm had bestowed upon her before she was rescued - she has a brother called "Fred" who went to live in Southend.
If Lily had become "Bracken" then Oz should probably have been renamed "Bramble". Oz was the name bestowed upon him by his original owner, my brother. The colour of bramble would have chimed in with his own colouring, he's rambling and a bit difficult to control, and he can be a bit prickly. Bramble - perfect.

I'm not sure about the name 'Roger' either.
Just don't call them any semi insulting human nicknames... I've been yelling out "Ned" and "Jock" over central Scotland for the past 15 years....
So Fred gets to frolic in the sea whilst Wilma gets to roll in fox poo.
They're the modern stoneage family.
Continuing with the Autumnal theme - perhaps you could be renamed Old Chestnut.
I see Oz is apparently blowing dandelion clocks. Any joy?
Dave: Nor am I. I had to give up my part time job as a cabin boy.
Macy: So has my Auntie Mary.
Geoff: Actually Oz could be Barney Rubble. Yabbadabbadoooooo!
Kaz: Very Good. I like roasting by an open fire.
Christopher: Time we got him a digital I think.
Damn.... Dave beat me to it
Sarah: Thanks Sal.
We changed Tilly's name from Kilda. My children promptly started calling her "Kill" for short.
When I was a child, we called a dog Huckleberry after the Hound. I still think it's the best name and will call the next puppy we have Huckleberry.
If it's a boy, of course.
Adorable pups, both. :) Oz looks like a Norman to me, and Lilster like Lady Ga-Ga.
My own almost-beagle is named Agamemnon. (Blame my children, please.) We settled on Aggie for practical purposes, though he himself often considers this change offensive. I think.
