Do animals invent names? As in names for themselves? Names for each other? Giving names is not something exclusively human. Other animals have name-like calls that they use much like we do.
Like the Superb fairywren, a bird native to Australia. It apparently gives its babies names - in this case, a 'family' name, like Jones or Smith. There is a good reason - or rather, a dastardly reason - for this last-name preference.
