How are you trying to name them?

The best way I have found to name a pet is to teach it at least 4 commands first so it knows those commands. The reason for this is because a lot of times you fail up to 4 times when first training a new pet a command. If you are trying to name it, I believe it is based on successfully training the command. So if you fail the training 4 times then you need to keep teaching the command 4 times with the name in front of it.

Then teach it those same 4 commands again but this time putting the name in front of the command. Once it is named then you can train the original commands back.

Usually when naming them I just do something like the following:

select store from training menu
/tellpet Fang a

select transfer from training menu
/tellpet Fang b

select trick1 from training menu
/tellpet Fang c

select trick2 from training menu
/tellpet Fang d


This will name the pet Fang. Then retrain those commands back to what you want them without the name in front of them.

select store from training menu
/tellpet store

select transfer from training menu
/tellpet transfer

select trick1 from training menu
/tellpet dance

select trick2 from training menu
/tellpet play


I apologize if you already know all this and are having a problem with it being bugged. I'm not trying to insult you. You didn't state whether you knew how to actually name the pets or not and I do this all the time so I know it works well for me. But if you are doing this and it isn't working then it is very possible you could be bugged.
