gengwall,

I really like your idea of the list!
I also want to say that I think the most important points are the two below and the reasons being that they show 1) Adam didn’t even name the woman before the fall and rather she got her identity from God and 2) the cultural argument is bogus.

  1. “There is no cultural naming convention between husbands and wives, so such an appeal to culture is an appeal to something that is non-existent”

If Adam had not spoken at the sight of her, she still would have been exactly what 1:22 says she was – a woman. She still would have been what God created – a woman. Adam’s recognition doesn’t change a thing and if he hadn’t said a word, that still wouldn’t have changed a thing because she was already identified in 1:22.
