I have a function that requires a distance matrix of class dist with

get dist() to include species names.
I am sure this must be easy, because a lot of packages and functions out
there require dist objects to have row names. Any help would be MUCH
appreciated.

You should be able to just set the 'Labels' attribute:
x <- matrix(rnorm(100), nrow=5)
d <- dist(x)
attr(d, "Labels") <- LETTERS[1:5]
Alternatively, convert d to a matrix, assign rownames
and convert back to a dist:
m <- as.matrix(d)
rownames(m) <- letters[1:5]
d1 <- as.dist(m)
