Many of them are paid via grants from the government, or they work directly for the government (ex. in an agency such as NASA). Either way, they are paid with taxpayer dollars, if they are paid at all.

Donations, government partly, various companies sponsoring them, etc. For example, it looks good on companies to have their name in space, so they'll sponsor experiments and such.

Typically universities, but various governments employ astronomers as well. Examples include the U.S. Navy, the UK Royal Navy, NASA, and the Russian space agency.

Why do astronomers name comets?

The same reason why people name anything - to distinguish between them. Comets are named with the year of discovery, a serial number, and the discoverer's name. Most "comet hunters" are amateur astronomers who live for the fleeting fame of having discovered a comet; being an "amateur comet hunter" isn't a job that pays anything. The fame of having a comet named for them is their only reward.
