Tolkien borrowed the idea of naming swords (and many other ideas) from Beowulf.
The Hobbit is very close in storyline to Beowulf's last battle with the dragon. There is even a scene in Beowulf where all of the company visiting a foreign king have to annouce their names and leave their swords outside a great wooden hall... sound familiar?
