Yes, you could give it a name. However as this new name has little true association with the being, it would do very little towards giving you power over it. If you had it's Name, however, it would have power. But they don't have such a weakness, so it wouldn't work. These creatures are likely often of the immortal sort. Resulting in their Name holding unchanging power over them (if they had one).

"By knowing something's name, its true Name, a magical link can be created by associating oneself to it in a magical sense, in a similar way that one would if one had hair, nail clipping, or blood. One has to know exactly how to say the Name, just knowing it is not good enough."

"A mortal's Name can change over time due to how their perception of themselves can change, whereas most supernatural beings' Name is static and unchanging."
