This is a case of the old "a race of people that all look the same" trope, correct? It seems wrong to alias the race tag to the individual tag, for the reason in forum #251848. I haven't played Paradox, but do these characters also appear as NPCs? That is, do the named companions have the exact model as enemies/NPCs, with the only difference being that they're named when in the party, or are these characters the only instance of their species in Paradox?
Short answer: They're named the monsters in combat, and named the companions as companions/during regular interactions with the companion. But you'll also see multiple sea horse girls in the same place, all named sea horse girl.
Long answer: It's mixed. For example, Chrome isn't named after her species (imp/succubus), it's her name and she's one of a kind. Lizard Boss is the monster name, but it's not actually a different race from the accompanying lizard girls (Named Lizard Thief A/B), BUT her companion name is Miranda (And Liru/Len). Keroron and Kururu are short haired and long haired frog girls, and the third one is Frog Girl C. I shit you not, that's how the third frog girl's dialogue is separated.
