The passages in this question are all from Genesis 2.

After creation God expresses how no suitable companion could be found for the man

> 
> 18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
> 
> 
> 

God brings the animals to man for naming

> 
> 9 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.
> 
> 
> 

Again after the naming ceremony God expresses the similar sentiment of how no suitable companion have been found for man

> 
> 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.
> But for Adam ***no suitable helper was found***
> 
> 
> 

Somehow this statement seems to come after parading the animals before man during the naming ceremony.

Did God ever consider the animals as suitable help for man?
