Trible's second objection: 'woman' is a common noun (gender classification), not a proper name -- Schreiner's reply: Adam classified animals the same way (types, not personal names).

Complementarian rebuttal on naming as classification

Trible argues calling someone 'woman' is gender designation, not naming. Schreiner responds that when Adam named animals, he also classified them into types (tigers, bears) rather than giving personal names (he didn't name a tiger 'Tony'). Adam's calling Eve 'woman' (isha) is the same type of classification -- distinguishing her from animals and recognizing her unique kinship with himself as 'man' (ish).
