“If Moses said that Adam named Eve, what would that mean to a hebrew? It would mean something to them.
Does this make sense?”

Certainly. But the Hebrew word has a variety of meaning. It can mean to give a name, it can mean to call to someone or cry out, it can mean to classify or identify something based on its characteristics. Our job is to determine in what way Adam “called” Eve. It is true that in Genesis 3 he named her. But in Genesis 2 he classified her. As someone put it earlier, her name wasn’t “woman”. So, any reference to the giving of proper names in Hebrew (or any other) culture is irrelevant to Genesis 2 because that is not what Adam did with either Eve or the animals.
