Genesis 2:20

And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

Cross-reference

Genesis 2:18 promises a fitting helper; Adam names every animal but finds none suitable — showing exactly why that promise was needed.

In Genesis 3:20, Adam again exercises naming authority — calling his wife Eve, just as he had named every animal.

In Genesis 3:12, Adam blames 'the woman you gave me' — a bitter irony since he needed a helper, and now resents God's provision of one.

Genesis 1:25 records God creating all animals according to their kinds. Here, Adam names those same creatures — but among them all, no helper is found.

In 1 Corinthians 11:9, Paul says woman was created for man — directly unpacking the need stated here: no suitable helper existed.
