ADAM

According to The Bible Adam named the land animals, including birds, and his first human companion. -See Genesis Chapters 2 & 3.

The Bible summarises genealogical matters in Chapter 5, and says of one of Adam's sons, "... and he [Adam] named him Seth." ~Gen 5:3 (NIV) This may have been a joint decision of both parents, because in the preceeding narrative, it tells us that Adam's wife "gave birth to a son and named him Seth." ~Gen 4:25.

Adam and Eve may also have named all their children (See Genesis 5:3,4). This would seem logical and reasonable, but is not explicitly stated.

ADAM'S DESCENDANTS

Adam and his descendants were given the gift of language, which which they could name all sorts of things! e.g.

# "Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh." ~Gen 4:25 # "Abraham named that place Jehovah-jireh*;...'" ~Gen 22:14 (NEB) * That is the LORD will provide. (NEB footnote)

GOD

God himself gave names to some things:

* "And God said, 'Let there be light,...' God called the light 'day' and the darkness he called 'night'." ~Gen 1:3,4 * "God made the expanse... . God called the expanse 'sky'. .... God called the dry ground 'land', and the .... waters he callled 'seas'." ~Gen 1:8,10 * "When God created man.... . He created them male and female; ... he blessed them and called them 'man'." ~Gen 5:1 * God said to Abram, "And your name will not be called A′bram anymore, and your name must become Abraham, ..." ~Gen 17:5

POST-BIBLICAL NAMES

Moving on from the times when the bible was written, and if we consider the vast range of things that have come into existence after Adam died, such as telephones and computers, Adam, of course, did not name them!

Didn't Adam name all animals and did he name the dinosaur or dragon?

The Bible says that Adam named all the animals. It doesn't mention particular ones.19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.---- Allah the Exalted said: He taught Adam all the names of everything. (2:31 Quran). Almighty Allah granted Adam the power to know the natures of all things and to summarize them by names; that is a bird, that is a star, that is a tree, etc Allah implanted in Adam an insatiable need for and love of knowledge and a desire to bequeath knowledge to his children. This was the reason for his creation and the secret of his glorification. After Adam had learned the names of all things, along with their properties and uses, Allah presented them to the angels and said: "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful." (2:31 Quran) the angels admitted their inability: "Glory be to You, we have knowledge except what You have taught us. Verily it is You the All Knower, the All Wise." ( 2:32) Allah Almighty then turned to Adam: "O Adam! Inform them of their names, " and when he had informed them of their names, He(Allah) said: "Did I not tell you that I know the unseen in the heavens and the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you have been hiding?" (2:33 Quran).

Who came up with names for animals?

Well, i believe God gave Adam the names for the animals. The biblical and scientific answers to this question are the same: man gave names to all the animals. To be specific, the bible says Adam named all the animals (Genesis 2:20). Science tell us that, over time, as humans encountered different animals, they gave them names so as to identify them to each other.
