"What's in a name?" For our animal companions, the answer is: everything. The name you choose for your pet is not just a cute label; it carries a vibrational frequency that they hear dozens of times a day. This frequency can either empower and delight them or, in some cases, cause offense and stress.
Understanding this can profoundly shift your relationship, allowing you to choose a name that truly resonates with your pet's soul.

Animals Understand Meaning and Frequency
Our pets are highly sensitive beings who understand the meaning and energy behind words. When you call them a name, they perceive the intent and frequency of that name. A name like "Grace" or "Buddy" carries a positive, uplifting energy. However, names chosen as jokes or with negative connotations can have a real impact.
Real-Life Examples of Name Disasters
Animal communicators have countless stories of pets unhappy with their names:
A cat named "Mitey" (spelled M-I-T-E-Y) was deeply offended, believing she was named after an infestation and demanded a more dignified, old-world name.
A cat named "Menace" (after Star Wars' Phantom Menace) hated the negative association and asked to be called "Harry" instead.
Pets with names like "Diablo" or "Spaz" are constantly bombarded with a low-vibration, negative frequency that can affect their self-perception and well-being.
The Right to Choose: Do Animals Have Name Preferences?
Absolutely. In many communication sessions, animals express clear preferences for what they’d like to be called. They might suggest a name that feels more fitting to their identity or soul's purpose.
This is especially true for animals who have reincarnated. Since a new, evolved aspect of the soul is returning, they often desire a new name to reflect their new journey. While they are ultimately just happy to be back with you, honoring their preference is a beautiful act of respect.
How to Choose the Right Name
If you are naming a new pet or considering a change for your current companion, here’s how to approach it:
Consider the Meaning: Research the meaning behind a name. Choose something that reflects their personality, spirit, or the positive energy you wish to invite into their life.
Feel the Vibration: Say the name out loud. Does it feel light, joyful, and strong? Or does it feel heavy, silly, or negative? Trust your intuition.
Ask Them: Sit quietly with your pet, hold the intention of connection, and mentally offer a few name options. See if you get a feeling of excitement, a purr, a head nudge, or just a sense of "yes" with one option over the others.
Choosing a name with conscious intention is one of the first and greatest acts of love you can offer your animal companion. It shows you see and respect them as the intelligent, spiritual being they truly are.
