Renaming a slime or Magma cube, Once it splits it no longer has its custom name.

Put the summary of the bug you're having here

What I expected to happen was...:
It should have said "Was killed by (insert custom name here)"

What actually happened was...:
It said "Was killed by Slime"

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Rename a Slime OR magma cube egg
2. Place said egg
3. If it is Large/medium size split it into a smaller size
4. Let the smaller size kill you
5. It will say "was killed by slime" NOT the custom name you gave it!

Well once placed it has its custom name, it wont be THAT hard to rename what it splits up into, and its an intended feature and it IS a bug, i am sure people would like it to be in the game, its minor but its a nice touch, so dont go flamin' me, k?

Confirmed in 14w27b. The name is lost regardless of how it was given the name: whether an existing one was named with a name tag or whether a spawn egg was named with an anvil. In either case, the smaller ones do not retain the name of the larger one (point the the crosshair at them), and the player's death message (which the crosshair confirms) changes from the name of the larger slime to simply "Slime" for the smaller ones. I don't know if this is intended behavior, but the Mooshrooms were allowed to keep their names after being sheared (see the "relates to" issue).
