The use of names as an individualisation mechanism is a human trait and development
The use of names as an individualisation mechanism is a human trait and development, one which is not found in any other Being. While it is true that organisations have names, these are given to them by humans, they were not developed by themselves—in the same way that dogs, for example, are given names in some parts of the world. Things, of course, do not process information themselves, however they are sometimes given unique identifiers by humans. The use of names as an individualisation mechanism is a way of giving meaning and creating understanding that is peculiar to humans. For the moment, at least, no other Being (only Beings can and will process information, see §02.00.00) has used names—assuming, of course, that our way of understanding and processing information is their way too.
