How important is it to name knife models?

Good topic, I have a few models that I have been making regularly and people ask and we have to go threw the process of "no not that one the one you made with the thumb cut out and the drop point" so I have been thinking the same thing about coming up with names too and it is hard.
 
Naming cars and knives.
hmmmmm... is it a part of marketing?
There are some very cool knives names out there tho.
rolf
 
I have displayed thousands of knives in my (so far) 11 books.
ALL of them have the name given by the maker and the year they
were made displayed in bold letters before their detailed description:

Here is an example:

Dellana, USA
"Aurora Borealis" 2014,
The latest in the “Meltdown” Series, this knife features Dellana’s signature design elements of
“Melted and Dripping” gold bolsters, a “Melted” gold “saddle” on the lockbar that camouflages
the lockbar release area and “floats” over the black lip mother of pearl without touching when
the lock release is engaging and another of her trademark design features - the “Dellana Dots”
on the blade that act as opening assists replacing the nail nick. 324 layer “Ladder” pattern
Damascus steel forged by Dellana, 14k yellow gold bolsters, “saddle”, pins and “Dellana Dots”,
Sterling silver, presentation quality Black-Lip pearl and nickel silver liners. Forged, Fused,
Fabricated and Fileworked inside and out. Sole authorship. Overall length 7 1/8” (181 mm).


Art Knives are ART and should each have its unique name distinguishing them as
unique creations.

Series of "working knives" can be referred to as "Large Hunter" or "Small Skinner"
as they usually are not one of a kind pieces of knife Art...

All the best,
