Title: [1.1.2562] Newborn pets do not get pet names (kitten 1, timber wolf puppy 1)

[1.1.2562] Newborn pets do not get pet names (kitten 1, timber wolf puppy 1)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a savegame where a pregnant pet has just given birth
2. View the newborn animal names

Issue: Newborn pets do not get pet names, for example a new cat will be named "kitten 1" and a new timber wolf will be named "timber wolf puppy 1"
Expected: Pet type animals will always be assigned a pet name at birth instead of a generic numbered name.

Thanks for the high quality report.

We changed the rules around naming. Now animals only get names if they are bonded to a human. It reduces the noise of names and makes the bonded animals stand out more story-wise. You can of course still name any animal you want. So this isn't a bug, but I appreciate the time taken to report anyway.
