So i am adopting a dog and the dogs name is Bama, i dont like this name
and want to change it, is that a bad thing to do, to confuse the dog,
or will a ten month old female dog quickly adapt to the new name?

I have changed names of dogs twice. They adapted just fine.

I think it fits in readily with dogs' view of the world that "this person
calls me this" and "that person calls me that." What's difficult is to
get them to respond the same to the same word spoken by
different people.

If you make sure that responding to her name is a good thing
by following it up with good attention or fun activities, she'll
catch on quickly and act happy about it.
