I want a new name, so I want to make a new account and transfer all my things B) But Can I get frozen for it, and should I do it?

Do you have 5 accounts? As in, your main account and 4 spares. If you do, don't make a new account.
If you do not, make the account, but be careful not to transfer anything at once, as you could get frozen for being scammed.

There is a chance you could get frozen, I recommend on not transferring everything right away. Maybe you should make a new account with a different email and ask neo ify ou could transfer things by email. They may say yes. Not really sure though.

People have done this - either because they want a new account, or they have more than one account and want to close the extra one. So they do send everything to the main account.
I'm in the process of slowly closing my gallery, sending all the items via the tp back to my main account. What I won't do is send any np to my main that's sitting in my gallery account. I don't know if I'm closing the gallery account or not - but if I do, I'll put the pets up for adoption and donate all the np, then close it. I do have a "note" on my gallery userlookup that the gallery's being closed, and a note in the gallery description itself. In the tp, I put "return to my main, gallery closing" on the items I'm returning to my main account. I trade omelettes, etc. that I buy on my main for the gallery items.
If you're going to move items, do it slowly is my suggestion - don't try moving hundreds of items in a day. First it'll drive you nuts and second, I think that is a red flag to Neo that something's going on.
It also couldn't hurt to write to support and let them know that you are starting a new account and plan to close the other one.

As long as you have less than 5 accounts and will not do any dailies on the original account, I see no problem in doing this. You should be fine.

If you're not over the account limit, move the stuff slowly. I saw a friend of mine even put in his old account in big letters: "attention TNT. I am in the process of moving to my new account "______", please disregard any activity between these two accounts." then he moved the stuff slowly.

But has anyone ever done it safely, and I want to transfer my pet too B)

Don't try transferring your pet, if it's decent at all. I've lost several good pets that way...

I transfered my gallery account over to my main account all in one sitting and all though the TP with no problem, I just made a note in each trade that I was transfering my gallery account.
If your really attached to your pet you are taking a chance in a transfer, but I have also quite sussfully transfered pets. We have two computers at home and I got my brother to help me lol
so much easyer when you can just yell for someone to start pushing the button...got my pet no problem.
I even put things in my shop and gave myself NP's before, I've been on Neo now for a good 57 months and I've never gotten a warning and I've never been frozen...

Yeah I would never forgive myself if I lost my purple kyrii with decent stats and a aged snicklebeast 0.0 But I transferred a mutant kyrii easily once B)
The only Items I'll be transferring is his BD set.

If you can, wait for the days they changed everyone's pets into a certain species. The last one was mutant day or something like that. You'll have a much greater chance of a safe transfer.

April Fools is comming up...they may do something like that then...they did change all the pets around one year...or two...can't remember really...I need sleep...

Yeah, thatg is what worrys me, losing my beloved pet

I did that once and I just chucked all the stuff over to my new account...errr but I wouldn't advise that! That was quite a while ago and tnt have got a bit stricter since then, follow other peoples advice and do it very slowly via the tp. About your pet though, it really is a risk you take... There is no 'safe' way to transfer your pet, just pick a time that neopets is quiet and have 2 browsers open, hopefully you will be fine and grab your pet before anyone else does. Good luck!:)
