Naming: is a name or singular term. Designate: a predicate designates. Naming and designating are referring. They do not express meaning.
VIII 27
Syncategorematic expressions such as "on" do not designate anything. Likewise, we can assume that words such as "unicorn" do not designate anything; neither something abstract nor something concrete. The same applies to "-ness" or punctuation marks.
The mere ability to appear in a sentence does not make a string a name.
Nominalism: interprets all words as syncategorematic!
Ad XI 173 Note 18:
Sentences/QuineVsFrege/Lauener: sentences do not designate! Therefore no names can be formed by them (by quotation marks).
XI 173
Substitutional Quantification/Ontology/Quine/Lauener: Substitutional Quantification does not enter into an ontological obligation in so far as the names used do not have to name anything. That is, we are not forced to accept values of the variables.

QuineVsSubstitutional Quantification: this is precisely what we use to disguise ontology by not getting out of the language.
XI 132
Sense/designate/singular term/Quine/Lauener: it does not need a name to make sense. Example: unicorn. There is a difference between sense,meaning and reference.
XII 73
Distinguishability/real numbers/Quine: N.B.: any two real numbers are always distinguishable, even if not every real number can be named! ((s) Not enough names).
Because it is always x < y or y < x but never x < x.
