We did that with Toby, the Jack Russell who found us in 1986! While Toby was busy, or just sitting around (and not staring at him at the same time) we said boys' names starting with "A" saying names slowly and randomly. He reacted a bit to the name "Bogie", but then didn't react again until we got to "T" and TOBY. So he chose his own name. But it's likely that was his name. He was about 10 months old when he came to us as a stray.
(By the way, no owner turned up for him and we tried all ways to locate his people for months before finally giving up.)
