Well, I have a reasoning that's not really lore, if you care to listen.
When a Hunter tame and summons a pet, it's always the same pet. That's why you get to name them.
When a Warlock summons a minion, they're compelling a demon from the nethers, which already has a name.
For a DK or a Frost Mage though, I think the reason is because the beings they summon are not the same one every time . A ghoul is summoned from a corpse, and generally is from a different corpse each time, while a Frost Mage just binds a random Water Elemental from the watery-realms, or whatever it is they come from.
That's my take anyway.

Those reasons are pretty much lore reasons. And they make sense too, though I thought I read somewhere that the water elemental is almost like a familiar, in which case it would be the same elemental, but I'm not sure.

Yeah all the lore reason everyone post makes good sense as to why some can be named and some can't. However for a game play reason I wish we could keep our names. Hey I play a spacegoat they already don't fit into lore :P
Since when does "*Sudden Crash* HI WE EXIST" not fit into lore?
What the hell is your avatar supposed to be lol, an eye about to be stabbed with a knife?

It seems that with the 4.0.3 patched they fixed it. My water elemental, which was named Aqueon, was reverted back to just Water Elemental, and the command doesn't work anymore. :(

Yeah, they have hotfixed it alright. Logged on today after patch was done to my Mage alt and my W.E., that was named "Cake", is now back to the old and boring "Water Elemental". :(
