It has not established or explained. Just roll with it.

But since the monsters Rimuru names evolve, there's some kind of system to it. It just hasn't been explained so far. There's no frame of reference for comparison because outside of Veladora naming Rimuru, everyone who has been named, has been named by Rimuru.
