How do I make this script print the item name?

So I have this script that selects a random item in the pets table but it prints the amount of characters the name contains rather than the actual name. An example of this would be "Selected 5". I am wondering how to change this to make it print the item name. An example would be "Selected Fire Sword".

01local Pets = {
02    rarities = {0.6,0.4};
03    pets = {
04        {
05            name="Part";
06            rarity="Rare";
07        };  
08        {
09            name="Part2";
10            rarity="Legendary";
11        };  
12    };
13};
14 
15local totalweight = 0
16 
17for _,v in ipairs(Pets.rarities) do
18    totalweight = totalweight + v
19end
20 
21local at = math.random() * totalweight
22 
23for i,v in pairs(Pets.rarities) do
24    if at < v then
25        print(Pets.pets[i] .. " has been chosen!")
26        break
27    end
28    at = at - v
29end

This seems like the obvious solution:

`1`	`print(Pets.pets[i]` `..` `" has been chosen!")`

Change to

`1`	`print(Pets.pets[i].name ..` `" has been chosen!")`

It still prints the amount of characters of the name Uluomis 32 — 5y

nvm for some reason it doesn't like if you do #Pets so I had to do Pets thanks alot! Uluomis 32 — 5y
