Klipper is included with the Fedora KDE spin by default, and while it
doesn't really have _named_ registers it does save a list of the last
N items you copied and makes them available for easy pasting.  For
more information, see:
http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kde-workspace/klipper/

If that doesn't quite fit your needs there are of course a multitude
of other options:
