I changed my dog's name from Diddy to Dibby and it didn't cause problems

If you want to chose a name that is different you could just add it to
Bama e.g BamaLucky and then drop Bama after a few days.

I would pay money to see (hear?) someone yelling "Come BamaLucky!"
across a park. That would *totally* make my day.

Seriously, though, I can't see any advantage to prolonging any
potential confusion by creating an interim Frank-n-Name.
