Because it makes life simpler and communication possible. If you call a chair a "flothpute," no one will know what the heck you are talking about.
And for the most part, "names" are not given, but evolve as a defining element. Television, as an example -- it is a "visual" that is "telegraphed."
Then, there are corporation who pay big bucks for people to come up with names, i.e., iPod.

Because we figure someone has to name the stuff right? Plus after time the names just seem to fit.

If we DIDN'T do that, you'd be like, "Can you please pass the fargerkukinlaternip?" And when someone gave you the cat, you'd get all upset. So, yeah. We had to name stuff and agree upon the names. Wanna Starbucks now, or a cup of Joe? No? Okay. Peace.

It is a interesting point that because there are some names for things and you think who thought of that ?
I am always fascinated by facts and how sayings came about as well.
