Hi tydusgaravaea, and thank you for the encouragement! 
I had fun trying to steal monsters too. My favorite was when the Dimension spell sent a non-flying enemy into mountains and they were stuck there for the rest of the battle. Creatures equip items in Grand Edition so you can even steal equipment at the same time Woo hoo!
As far as names, GE uses unique names for all creatures that are in the game at game-start and for the creatures that come with quest knights. For summoned creatures, GE has a random name generator system.
It's not completely random; each creatures type has a unique prefix and suffix. And then there are huge lists of generic syllables that are randomly combined with the unique pre/suf to make a name. For example, the Pixie's prefix might be "Fay" and it's suffix "lit", and one of the generic feminine syllables is "glo", so a possible pixie name would be "Fayglo" or "Glolit".
The system won't generate a name that is already in use so every summoned creature has it's own unique name.
