Apparently the first syllable attracts their attention and they recognize the second one.
I'm not a fan of a dog or other pet having a human name. You will, hopefully, keep the dog for 12 to 16 yeas or more. What if in that time a human comes into your life with the same name?
Happened to a friend of mine, he got a girlfriend with the same name as the dog that he had already owned for about 4 or 5 years. They were both Maggie. He tried renaming the dog but it was very confusing because the dog would answer to both names. (The gf only to one lol).
Thanks for the advice! Your friend's case is funny tho haha0 -

You can make it work. Knew a girl named Sierra who ended up with a horse named Sierra. They just called her Sierra pony, plus context adds alot.0 -

Do horses recognize their own names? I truly have no idea. I guess I always thought just dogs and cats did
I think they are capable of it. When I worked in a riding school and the horses names were used frequently some of them seemed to know their name. They also learn words, many old school horses will walk, trot, or canter on command without ques from the rider.
I dont notice many privately owned horses responding to their name, but most people also dont use their name all the time and teach them to respond to it like you do with a dog. I definitely think they easily reconize different voices though, and will come to specific people. I have seen horses go to their owners who were talking, not even calling for their horse. They also usually come when they hear anyone who regularly feeds talking, because food2 -

Interesting. We have had dogs with human names that I suppose were uncommon enough that we never really had a conflict.
But I also think we do not say people's hames as often as we do pet names or we give people nicknames so if you love a human name use it.0 -

If and when I ever get the dog I want, I plan to name it Roadie.
It's not cute and probably wouldn't work for a poodle. Sorry.1 -
Give her a dog name ( sport, fido... whatever ) instead of a person's name (Elizabeth, Jennifer etc.).
