III 380
Naming/designation/Kripke: designation has nothing to do with existence: wrong question: "Does ___ live on Mars?" and then insert name. ((s) The substitutional quantification: would be satisfied by a name because it refuses an ontology that goes beyond its expressions.)
>Existence/Kripke, >Substitutional quantification/Kripke.

Kripke I 121
Naming/designation/Kripke: designation does not create identity: Phosphorus/Hesperus has the same epistemic situation named as different celestial bodies - it is quite possible, therefore contingent, but does not affect the actual identity. We use them as names in all possible worlds.
>Identity/Kripke, >Morning star/evening star, >Possible world/Kripke.
I 134
Geach: designation reflects something important: Nixon = human (a priori).
KripkeVs: e.g. Lot’s guests are Angles despite designation. Difference: there is a difference in the use of the name/designation. This is no case of indeterminacy of reference.
>Indeterminacy, >Inscrutability of reference, >Reference/Kripke.
