Renamed Spawned Eggs Do Not Apply Name To Spawned Mobs

Spawn Eggs that have been renamed using an anvil should produce mobs with names. Since 0.16.* they no longer do.

Steps To Reproduce:

  1. Rename a spawn egg using an anvil

  2. Spawn the mob

  3. Notice the mob has no name above it's head

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

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

Still affects 1.2.0.31 (Beta 9 / Android)

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)
