That's a tough one - renaming a pet. When we did a cat-swap with the MIL (each of us had a cat that didn't get along with the others), we kept the name of the one we received, even though we weren't too fond of "Allie" (named after Allie McBeal - MIL also has a cat named Billie - the love interest of the Allie McBeal character). However, she renamed the one we gave her, though she (the cat) will forever be known to us as Bindi.
We just believe that names are part of the identity. When chosing names for our animals, we go with what feels right - whatever resonates with the spirit of the animal.
Try to live with the name for a few days. If it doesn't feel right, then by all means change it. But if after a while you realize that "hey, that works", then stick with Snickers.
