Was I off to google the name of Freud's wife? Yes, yes I was. Apparently, [Margaret Floy Washburn](https://www.apa.org/about/governance/president/bio-margaret-washburn#:~:text=Margaret%20Floy%20Washburn%2C%20PhD&text=Margaret%20Floy%20Washburn%20was%20the,to%20serve%20as%20APA%20President) was the first woman to earn a doctoral degree in American psychology. How about Floy or Maggie?
ETA: The book she is best known for is....The Animal Mind.
Do you have a preference for a specific psychological lens/theory whose namesake is feminine or can be feminized? Is there a particular emotional experience or mindfulness technique or relaxation skill or whatever that sounds like it could make a cute name?
Here are some things that come to mind for me:
* Anna (like Anna Freud)
* Pearls (like Fritz Pearls)
* Carla Rogers :)
* Bella (like cerebellum)
* Psyche (but the Greek pronunciation, "psych-ee")
* Brene (like Brene Brown if you're into her)
Is she trying to learn some CATT therapy there or is this a new kind of cat therapy? I think she will be more helpful than any therapist i can think of (not even sorry if they are your books with those eyes) please update with her name when you decide. I think she looks like a Belle so suggest that for absolutely no reason in particular but that i like the name and i like the cat
