100% - elevate though not to their manager.
I often open up the discussion to a wider channel if me and a coworker can't compromise on a technical discussion and poll other engineers.
If it's not a technical discussion (I consider naming to be technical if it's "important" like a wide reaching functiona name) then I'll actually elevate to my manager - they'll consider it and vet it before elevating further which might involve talking to the dev or to the dev's manager.
If it's a real pattern and somebody is being an ass consistently you'll really want to go through your manager because it's likely that if you're locking horns that much someone may need to switch projects.
