Still does not work

Comment by Katie Heart [ 11/Sep/17 ]

I did not search for Armor Stamds (sorry) but if it was intended for them to be named if their item is named, they exhibit the same behavior as Spawn Eggs.
Also tested in 1.2.0.31 (Beta 9 / Android)

Not fixed (as of 1.2.0.22), never actually was fixed. (set https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-25244 as duplicate of this)

It was possible to spawn animals and mobs with custom names in previous versions.
