Apparently she was originally known as "Grumpy" but they thought that'd put people off adopting her, ha ha.

My little dog is called Milo. He also responds to the names: Milton, Mildew, Mildred, Doris and Dog. Don't get to hung up about Crumpet's name she'll respond if the tone is right. The number of dogs I know(n) that respond to Wassziss? is huge, especially when said in an interesting way and associated with a suitable treat. In a nut shell if you're super interesting she'll respond to any word. I asked my niece to stop just calling his name (repeatedly) when she wanted him and say Milo, come! instead. Thankfully I seem to be able to train 8 yr olds too.

Crumpet is a great name but quite hard to shorten. Single syllables are handy for names you're going to be shouting A LOT
