Names carry energy. When naming or renaming your pet think about what type of energy you want your pet to have! Remember… you are the one that has to live with it….
Silly names will tend to yield a pet that is funny, goofy, maybe a bit mischievous.
A confident name will tend to yield a pet that is slightly dominant, a leader, bossy.
A cuddly name will yield a pet that is loving and gentle.
These names can help, but personalities are of course stronger than any name.

But you can give a submissive pet a confident name for balance. You can give a dominant pet a soft name for balance.
You can also just help bring out the silly in pets with the right name.
You can also hurt a pet’s feelings with a nickname…. Pets don’t understand jokes. They take everything literally.
Names are important and they carry energy. If you change a pet’s name it will take time for the energy associated with the old name to be replaced with the energy associated with the new name. But it will.
Naming pets can be fun! Especially when you put thought into it about wha type of energy the name (or nickname) will bring to the pet.
