When does "dog" become "dogmeat"?

[FlippantSandwich]

When you first encounter the dog it's called "dog" but at some point its name changes to "dogmeat", so what triggers this change? I currently have a level 22 character and Dogmeat is still called Dog, so I assume it has to do with story progress of which I have none.

Bring him to mama murphy or if you miss that nicks quest to trak kellog master of cereal

Mama murphy in concord will say "dogmeat is a loyal mutt" or something like that. That reveals his "name"

so many hidden little details in this game, 1300 hours and I never noticed he was just dog at the start lol

If you don't meet grandma with serious drug addiction then Nick says it at kellog's house, when dogmeat appears outside, his name will be changed.

he becomes dogmean at mama murphy also when you go out kellog's diamon city house he becomes dogmeat if his name is dog if you did not bring doge to mamam murphy

Weirdly in Fallout 1 or 2 (not sure wich one it was) he is introduced as furbutt by the people you get him from, still the name dogmeat somehow spreaded around more.
