Well its obvious truth on this level SO it should be obvious truth on that level. It is always usefull to have a name to refer to as it hastens communication. So yes, if you wish to have power over (ability to persuade a neutral party to the righteusness of your point of view) someone, you had better had their name since its awkward going "you know, that one dude that gloats and floats in his ball of light!"
So yes, i'd say that Ra's tone of voice is like "stop asking these questions that you all know the answer to, name is a commonally used reference point to a person. As long as there is individuated free wills (until 8th) there will be people, as long as there are people there will be names, in some form. Its simple communication, hell, even my computer has a name and its still in the early 2nd D. Darn thing certainly has emotions but i'm not sure it has self awareness yet. God help us all when it does and finds my cache.
