The question isn't whether computer science has a problem with naming things but whether naming information structures is a computer science problem.

It's not a problem of algorithms but it's a problem of how to relate with information. Given how central names are to human reasoning and human intelligence, caring about names seems to be relevant for building artificial intelligence.
