I have not, when we got Ike, my first tibbie, AKC did not allow it. They just started allowing it ummm a year or two ago Ike is 14 lol. He has the dumbest least creative name on the planet - ready for this his registered name is ... <kennel name> Ike. ROFL. When we got him my mom was soooo sorry we couldn't change him to "I like Ike" but there ya go. He was named after Ike in the play Oklahoma which the breeder's daughter was in at the time. His first owners just kept his nickname that she gave him instead of picking out a name of their own and never registered him. The breeder did that when she took took him back. Howie didn't fair much better, he is <kennel name> Esienhower.
B/c the breeder thought Ike (who is Howie's sire) was short for Eisenhower so he was calling him "little ike" before we took him. I wanted to name him Sike (haha ya remember that... SIKE!!) B/c his momma got HUGE before she delivered and we were certain she had like 100 puppies in there. Nope just Howie lol. We took him as a puppy back for the stud service and repeated the breeding since we promised at the time 2 live pups at 8 wks old.
Anyway I'm rambling, as usual, and think you do meet the requirements. I thought there was one in there that they couldn't be titled or have earned any points towards a title either but I could be wrong, to lazy to click the link - how sad is that? Doesn't sound like you've done any of that either but are planning to so I say go for it and pick something else you like better.
Got any ideas by chance? Names are one of my favorite subjects. I took me forever to pick Jazz's reg. name. I wanted to change her call name to but Hubby wouldn't let me so I shortened it from Jasmine to Jazz. Weird though hubby and I both call her Jasmine when she is in trouble and when anyone asks John always tells them her name is Jasmine??
