As bat shit crazy as it sounds, I don’t. I let the name “come to me”, or wait for the critter to pick its name.
It isn’t literal woowoo hippy bullshit, but it looks like or when I try to explain it lol.
But it’s a matter of letting the subconscious mind have a chance to percolate with the personality and “nature” of the pet.
But it just kind of pops into my head at some point. Might be the second I meet the animal, might be weeks later. And it never fails me because when I let that happen, the animal immediately recognizes the name as theirs. That’s held true for anything but invertebrates and most fish, even a pissy iguana and an unusually smart oscar.
What sucks is that sometimes the name isn’t very cool lol. For every shaitan and samson, there’s a sugarplum and a cricket.
