Ooh, good question. While I doubt anybody could say precisely who named it, the etymology of the word cuttlefish could be interesting. My guess would be that the animal gets its name from the cuttlebone rather than the other way round - cuttlebones can be carved to make molds for metal castings. I reckon they were used by cutlers - people who made knives and forks, cutlery - to produce molds which the cutlery was then cast inside.
Anyone else got any ideas?
