pinklight,
You asked:

Did God make lions tigers and bears? Or did he make animals (that were named by Adam)?
Did God make woman? Or did he make a female that was named by Adam?
God gave identity/name to the woman but not the animals (Adam gave identity/names to the animals).

God made “animals” and then God brought them to the man (for the purpose of) see(ing) what the man would call each type of animal.

It is interesting that God never identified His bringing the woman to the man as having a purpose of seeing what man would call her. God already had an identity for the woman and a plan to cause the man to understand that she was to be considered his flesh and blood.

The Bible does not say that God made a female and brought her to Adam to see what he would call her. We cannot assume that the bringing of the bride was for the same reason as the bringing of the animals. That would not make sense at all.

It is true that God identified the woman by identifying what He made and in the way that He made her as the source of her origin is what her name means.
