Correct me if I'm wrong (seriously), but I think these are the only spirits which have names in the Bible:
The Holy Spirit (of course!)
Legion (the demons who were torturing the man of Gadara as recorded in Matthew and Mark)
The spirit of antichrist (whoever denies that Jesus has come in the flesh)
That's all I can think of right now.
Although I'm not sure whether there is a specific Jezebel spirit or demon, I can say that when people act or behave in certain ways, it can be likened to Queen Jezebel. And we can also compare such behaviors to Ahab, Pharaoh, Haman, Herod, Judas, Cain, Michal (one of David's wives), Manasseh, Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Pontius Pilate, Simon the Magician, Alexander the coppersmith, Esau, Jacob, etc. It does us no good to point to a specific wicked person in the Bible and stay focused on that one person. Because we all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). We all need Christ as our Savior and Lord.

I thought the demons were refered to as "legion" because there were many. It would make sense that Demons have names because they are fallen angels, and Angels have names. I agree with you that demons could be named by their attributes (and jezabelle has definitely been used to describe a woman of low morals) and when Jesus rebuked the evil spirit in Mark 9:25 by using the attributes, deaf and mute.
I believe that demons can influence people, if they let them. I believe in casting out demons. But I think a lot of this trying to diagnose which demon is at work or whatever it is, isn't that useful a lot of times. What made you be concerned about a certain type of demon causing trouble?
In a demon is actually manifesting in a person, like talking through them, then casting it out in Jesus' name (and/or getting some help from a fellow believer to do this) may be the way to go. But a lot of demonic influence can be countered through prayer, study of the word of God, speaking the word of God to others, and bringing one's thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ.

Brother lester sumrall dealt with deliverance for a great many people. He wrote probably the most extensive works regarding demons and how they affect Christians. He had a great ministry and a wonderful heart for God. please look up what he as a man who dealt with the devil FIRST HAND and overcame many spiritual matters with great faith has to say. =)
