To identify ourselves. If we don't have names, then everyone wouldn't know who is which to call. Then obviously it would be harder to identify a person.

Most of the culture people did not have name in the old times. They had a first name and a surname given by themselves or by the community.
-an origin (tribe, location) , a profession, a specificity
For my point of view 2 factors were at the origin of name creation
- In Europa during the medieval time the demographic explosion .
- Need to record acts (Law, trading)
Tradition and law changed. Name was forced to be kept from one generation to another one.

to classify each other, It is so much easier than calling everyone by their number of birth.
