Beautiful pet names inspired by crystals and gemstones – PLAY

You probably know that crystals and gemstones are popular these days. These magic stones are appreciated by different types of people, including pet parents, even if they do not consider themselves spiritual.

Crystals, geodes and gemstones are used for many purposes by believers and even non-believers. Many use them for their energy or for purely decorative purposes. And when it comes to our furry friends, crystals can be a source of inspiration and symbolism.

So, if you want to bring a new pet into your home and family but still haven’t decided on a name, you might want to consider the following crystal-inspired names for cats and dogs.

Crystal-Inspired Names for Dogs and Their Vibes

Yes, your dog or puppy shines brighter than a crystal. They deserve all your affection and attention, and they also deserve a beautiful and meaningful name. I recommend the following names inspired by gemstones and crystals. But feel free to pick a pet name that you think best suits your dog’s personality.

Crystal names for your male dogs:

Jasper – this name is inspired by jasper crystals which are believed to convey protective and guiding energies. It is an excellent choice of name for guide dogs and guard dogs. It is also a good choice for your pet, reminding you that they will always be there for you.

citrine – this crystal has a positive and joyful vibe and carries a sunny, yellow and warm energy. As a dog name, it is perfect for golden retrievers or any playful and cheerful dog. And just like a citrine crystal, your dog fills the room with positive energy and makes you smile every day.

Larimar – is a crystal used by crystal healers to unlock stagnant energies and help people feel closer to nature. Larimar or Larry can be a symbolic name for dogs as they always manage to bring us closer to nature. Not to mention they take us out of the house for a walk on days when we feel down or down.

Tiger – this name is inspired by the gemstone called Tiger’s Eye. It is a strong name that suits a strong and protective dog that makes you feel safe and confident. The crystal is valued for its grounding energy and ability to strengthen willpower and promote courage and inner strength.

Crystal names for your female dogs:

amber – it is a gemstone that brings wisdom and patience into your life while stimulating the intellect. A great name for your smart pet that also makes your life difficult. It’s a name that can work as a symbol and a reminder to exercise patience when dealing with your little furry troublemaker.

Raspberries – is a name idea inspired by tourmaline gemstones. Black tourmaline is a popular crystal that acts as a shield against electromagnetic fields and harmful radiation. Maline could be a symbolic name for a dog that drives you away from your smartphone with its playfulness. So go look in the park with your darling Maline and make sure you give her lots of love.

iolite – is a crystal known to bring love and compassion into one’s life. It is also a gem that encourages people to focus on the present moment. As a pet name, Iolite represents the unconditional love dogs show us and how their presence makes us feel grounded and in the present.

Lazuli – is a female dog name inspired by the gemstone Lapis Lazuli. It is a strong name, just like Lapis Lazuli is a stone of empowerment and strength. Our dogs often get stronger and make us feel safer around strangers or when walking alone at night. They also allow us to feel comfortable and confident in our homes, which is why I recommend this name for dogs that provide you with security and strength.

Names for cats inspired by crystals and their vibrations

Cats tend to be less dependent on us, but they are great companions like dogs. Watching them play, eat, or sleep all day can give us a dopamine boost. Cats are cute, funny, and sometimes big troublemakers, but we can’t help but love them. So feel free to choose a crystal-inspired name for your feline pet from the following recommendations.

Crystal names for your male cats:

Onyx – often used to ward off negative energies, onyx is a stone known to attract good fortune and financial stability. It’s a cute and funny name for a cat, especially when you can’t help but pamper your feline with tasty treats. Hopefully this name, like onyx crystals, will protect your wallet.

Garnet – is an energizing and revitalizing stone. Garnet is also known to attract romantic relationships and promote self-confidence. Your cat may already be confident enough, but this name might remind you to follow your feline’s lead when it comes to attitude. Garnet is a great name for a confident yet loving cat.

carnelian – is a gemstone that dispels apathy and has protective properties. It is also known to encourage motivation and fuel creative energy. If your male cat is your spark of inspiration and your shield against negative thoughts, then this crystal-inspired name could be for him.

Obsidian – is another protective stone. Obsidian is used for emotional trauma and mental stress relief; it has healing properties and reduces tension in the body. It can be a name representing how the presence of your cat heals and relaxes you mentally, emotionally and physically. It’s also an apt name for black cats with shiny fur, just as bright and dark as an obsidian crystal.

Crystal names for your cats:

Agate – is a crystal believed to keep your mind sharp, your heart clear, and your outlook on life positive. It symbolizes balance and harmony and its soothing energy helps people feel calm in any situation. May your cat with this name have the same energy and vibration as the agate crystal.

Turquoise – appreciated by ancient cultures, this stone has a fascinating water-green color. It is a gemstone that strengthens intuition and improves expression and communication. It can be a cute name for a voice chat but also a symbol of interspecies understanding and communication. We may not use the same language as our cats, but we can show affection and attention differently.

Angelite – a fitting name for your little furry angel who gets away with everything because he’s so adorable and precious. Angelite crystals are a lullaby of love and light and have gentle, soothing vibrations. It’s believed to enhance spiritual awareness and self-expression, so it’s an interesting name to give a cat if you like a bit of mysticism in your life.

Topaz – is a crystal of longevity, strength and wealth. It’s said that the ancient Greeks believed that a topaz crystal could make its wearer invisible, making it a funny name for a stealthy or sneaky cat that thinks you can’t see it doing mischief.
