Abe is not just named by slaves. When he is 'wanted' a poster with a photo of him holding his own name up infront of him is present. Therefore we can assume that slaves are named by the industrialists for convenience as well as just by fellow workers.

I recently realised that when Big Face 'resurrects' Abe or whatever he does, he draws the symbol for infinity in the ground. Was this done on purpose by OWI, and if so, why? A way of representing Abe's infinite lives? Though then, why would an ingame character do that, presuming that in the 'real' Oddworld universe, Abe wouldn't really have infinite lives like that.
