And then he created Eve out of Adam. Actually God didn’t name her Eve. Adam named her Eve later. That wasn’t her name. Her name was Adam. When God said Adam, they both came.

Her name was not “the man”. Her name was only “Adam” collectively with the man, but her name is not “the Adam” or “Adam” singularily in the creation/fall accounts. Genesis gives it only as the male’s name. But this is not to say that she was not “Adam” as in “human”. It’s just that God has his reasons for the author under inspiration using ha’adam only in reference to the man, singularily throughout the Genesis accounts of creation and the fall – so that we don’t end up thinking from the text that ha’adam when used means both collectively.
