  For what it's worth, Unicode's CLDR names Unicode characters in multiple languages [1], although this work is done in phases, and usually the English names are ready before others. Unicode also maintains an informative emoji chart [2], which includes comparison pictures among popular glyph-sets, as well as an English short name.

  I named only a very few, those I had to touch anyway while compiling the list. But most of the namings come from a source list I merged into the final list. And there are also still many names missing, need to figure out how to add them automatically from the Unicode website or any other Emoji resource; because doing it manually is not what I want to do :)
