Hunter: Rename Your Pet

The pet's default name is simply the kind of animal it is: wolf, bear, cat, moth...etc.  Impersonal and no different from any other one in the game.  Giving it a name gives it an identity ... literally.  It becomes unique to you. Others come to know your pet, can interact with it, and adds to the social atmosphere of WoW.

Renaming is simple.  Select your pet either by clicking on it in the frame or on the secondary name plate under your name.  Once it is selected, its name plate floats to the right of yours.  Right click on it and a dropdown menu appears.  Select "rename."  Simple.
