I'll try blundering through it, for whatever it's worth. A "proven" psychic, which I guess means one that has convinced his/her client of his/her abilities, describes spirit guides of the client.

The client (you?) then takes this to a "respectable" psychic. I'm not sure what you mean by "respectable," but I'll hazard a guess that you mean one that has a track record that speaks well of the said psychic.

Now I'm not sure what exactly spirit guides are. Are they objective spiritual entities with their own identities? Are they symbolic manifestations of one's own mind or even higher consciousness? Are they something belonging to the "collective unconcsciousness" that speaks to your consciousness? And is what the psychic sees objective or symbolic (after all, not seeing with physical eyes with physical light)? And do these guides, whatever they are, change form the same way we change clothes or even present ourselves based upon mood?

Besides, daimons (which some see as guiding entities while others see as tricksters, and others still see as both) are well known for changing their shape and form, as if they don't want to be--or can't be--classified.

I don't know. But I suppose if you told a psychic with the ability to see these forces, whatever these forces/spirit guides are, then the psychic may be able to seize upon that image and visualize/perceive them that way. OTOH, maybe each psychic views them according to their own reality tunnel. For example, maybe a Wiccan psychic would see a fairie while a Christian psychic would see an angel while a Hindu psychic would see a diva and a UFO-type psychic might even see an entity from another world. And it could just be that's how they perceive such forces which are more of a symbolic way, a "map of the territory" so to speak, and thus might not be able to see the same guides in the same way as the other psychic did.

But to answer your question-yes if two people are psychic and they say they are connecting with your Spirit Guide they should come up with the same name.

Look at it like this. Say your Spirit Guide is Bob. You know this because you talk to him often and that's what you know him as. You come to me and I say I'm getting all of these symbols and such and ascertain your guide is Labambalama. You of course say well, he says his name is Bob. I in turn say yes, but his true name is Labambalama-he's known as Bob to you because it is a name you can relate to better.

Don't buy it. If Bob is coming through to the psychic he is going to use the name you know him as. The same with the proven and reputable psychics. If he tells Madame Proven his name is Bob then he is going to tell Madame Reputable his name is Bob if they are indeed connecting with him.
