This issue of Adam’s naming of Eve was offered by Bruce Ware in one of his audios on CBMW as well. In that same lecture, he says that when Genesis says that Seth was found to be more in the likeness of Adam, this means character and morality and in the full image of God because the language is similar to that found earlier in the creation account. I guess the evil nature found in Cain came from Eve, but the good nature of Seth came from Adam. (As if Cain, the evil seed, was made so by Eve, but that which was like Adam as found in Seth was good. ????) If you read the whole account though, Eve named the boys including Seth.
I think it’s laughable that he can use Adam naming Eve as an example, gloss right over the account of Eve naming Seth (having dominion over him?) and then jump to the eisegesis that Seth being found in the likeness of Adam means that men are more like God and that evil comes through the woman.
