Quote: proper names denote individuals, but they do not imply any attributes; they are not connotative

Quotation

Proper names are not connotative; they denote the individuals who are called by them, but they do not indicate or imply any attributes as belonging to those individuals. When we name a child by the name Paul or a dog by the name Caesar, these names are simply marks used to enable those individuals to be made subjects of discourse.   Google-1   Google-2
