Abstract
The phenomenon associated with the mystery of the use of proper names has been debated by philosophers for over a century. Philosopher G. Frege provided one of the most profound theories to this problem in that he showed that senses, as well as references, played a vital role to our understanding of names. For J.S. Mill, a proper name was an essentially meaningless mark that people used in order to connect certain ideas and things in their minds. According to Mill, the function of proper names was not to get certain general information across to anyone, since names did not really carry any meaning in and of themselves. They were simply used to allow people to be make some kind of sense out of their conversation.

Abstract
This paper compares three dominant globally-recognized brands and ascertains the brand names' performance on influencing consumers.

The paper looks at the attributes of brand names and their unique market position.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Examples of the Effects of Brand Names
Conclusion and Recommendations
From the Paper
"In conclusion, the role of the Disney brand and its decisions to allow French managers to eventually run EuroDisney, the decision by Nike to enhance and strengthen their distribution channels to strengthen their branding, and the deliberate attempts by Starbucks' to create stores that encourage social networking, team meetings and collaboration have all led to the strengthening of these brands. The role of their names, when taken into the context of the framework as defined by Keller (2000) also highlight how critical the synchronizing of multichannel management, integrated marketing communications, and distribution-specific decisions are critical to overall brand value and the continual growth of brand equity."

The Names of God, 2004.
This paper discusses that, in the Bible, well over seventy different names are recorded for God, depending on the variants of spelling and tense or combinations of modifiers as representing their own titles.

Abstract
This paper explains that, throughout the original text of the Bible, God is referred to by different names and titles; but, in English translations, all of these various labels tend to be telescoped down into just a handful of names, and, in this process, it seems probable that some of the philosophical, anthropological, and theological significance of the original words were lost. The author points out that both YHWH and Elohim are translated generically as 'God', which means that, if there is a difference between these two, then it is inaccessible to those who do not investigate the original texts. The paper relates that the other name most common to the texts is 'Adonai', which might generically translate as 'Lord'; it is believed that this name of God was not so much originally attached to the deity, but was rather written into the text as a placeholder for the unspeakable name of God.
From the Paper
"Even the name Adon (or Adonai as the plural form) appears to have some connection with more pagan roots. ?The name of the Egyptian [solar] deity Aten transliterates into the Hebrew word Adon. Adon, which is translated by English Bibles as "the Lord" (and Adonai, translated as "my Lord") is used along with Jehovah (Yhwh) in the Bible as the exclusive personal names of God. ...Whenever the written name Jehovah (Yhwh) was to be read out loud, Adon (Aten) was voiced instead.? (Pope) So it seems possible that the naming of God may have occasionally been related to titles drawn from other Pantheons -- particularly when the borrowed name referred to primary deities. Aten, as a perfect example, was a name used for the solar deity by the first Pharaoh to embrace monotheism, so one can see how it might be fitting for the monotheistic Jewish deity as well. In fact, ?Psalm 104 is an embellishment of the Hymn to the Aten which was found by archaeologists at the city of Akhetaten,? (Pope) and it seems possible then that since the Bible is divinely inspired by God Himself that the One True God was indeed speaking with and inspiring the ancient Egyptian king."

Trademarks and Domain Names Dispute, 2004.
Discusses how trademarks and domain names disputes are resolved, focusing on the cyberspace disputes.
3,736 words (approx. 14.9 pages), 10 sources, APA, AU$ 164.95

Abstract
"Trademarks and domain names are a poor fit. One admits many users to a particular space, the other admits only one,? says Diane Cabell of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at the Harvard Law School. The paper critically examines this statement, while explaining how trademark and domain names disputes are resolved currently. The current practices involving cyberspace disputes are analyzed in terms of fairness and allocation of Internet resources of businesses. The paper also examines whether trademark laws should be applicable for resolving trademark and domain name disputes in cyberspace. Related case studies are highlighted and discussed.
From the Paper
"When an individual applies for a trademark, the trademarks are subjected to restrictions before they can be registered. Domain names on the other hand are on a first-come first serve basis. There is no legislation over what can be registered. Domain name applicants don?t need to show that they are the rightful owners and that means anyone can register any available domain name. It is much like the Wild West where the fastest and strongest will be able to register that particular domain name. Given such anarchy in cyberspace, it shows the inherent difficulty in governance."

Cultural Identity in Richard Kim's novel "Lost Names", 2001.
Review of Richard Kim's novel about life in Japanese occupied Korea, "Lost Names".

Abstract
This paper comments on Richard Kim's novel "Lost Names". It comments on growing up in Japanese occupied Korea. "Lost Names", as the paper shows, is somewhere between textbook and novel.
From the Paper
"Lost Names is somewhere between textbook and novel. Because Kim admits that his book is a work of fiction, there is a certain honesty in his story. He describes the boy, himself, as wealthier than those around him, as a boy who is first in his class, and as someone who receives special benefits in the community because of his father?s reputation. He does not attempt to set up this story as the definitive account of the Japanese occupation of Korea, just the story of one family."

Symbolism of Names in Literature, 2002.
An analysis of three literary works, illustrating the symbolism of the names chosen for the characters.
1,700 words (approx. 6.8 pages), 3 sources, MLA, AU$ 88.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the use and meaning of names in three novels: Thomas Hardy's "Tess D?Urbervilles", William M. Thackeray's "Vanity Fair", and "The Portrait of a Lady" by Henry James. The paper shows how names provide a deep symbolic language association that guides the reader to understand the character and the authors? purpose.
From the Paper
"One of the most important elements of literature is the selection of character names. Thackeray, James, and Hardy, along with all of their contemporaries, employed character names to indicate very specific elements of their character, destiny, behavior, and mannerisms. The selection of names is often very deliberate and quite obvious, but they serve a direct literary purpose. In real life, it is the rare person whose name actually has a symbolic relationship (beyond coincidence) to who and what they are. In literature, however, names can be as important as plot and theme."

Abstract
This essay argues that it is a crime against humanity for sports teams in American society to continue their use of Native American identifiers for team names and mascots. The essay maintains that these images desensitize Americans and make them intolerant of Native Americans. The paper also studies this issue with the wider context of the historical role of propaganda against Native Americans.
From the Paper

"Giving Things Names", 2004.
A brief analysis of S.I. and Alan Hayakawa's book, "Giving Things Names."
858 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 1 source, MLA, AU$ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In "Giving Things Names", S.I. and Alan Hayakawa argue that the words that we use to classify things originate in our reactions to them, but that these classifications can also act to define our understanding. The paper explains how they carefully develop their thesis by using examples and move from the general to the specific in order to create a logical basis for their potentially controversial discussion of 'race', 'nationality', and classification.
From the Paper
"Hayakawa and Hayakawa take a number of carefully reasoned steps in order to develop their thesis. First, they use a relatively simple example to illustrate how things come to be named based upon what they mean to us. They give the example of a village where a number of animals live. These animals are either large or small, and have round or square heads, or curly or straight tails. One villager notices the small animals eat grain, and names these animals gogo. Another villager notes that the ones with square heads bite, and names these daba, while a third villager notes that the ones with curly tails kill snakes, and names these busa (paragraph 2). Here, each animal is named based on what it means to the person who named it."

Abstract
This paper discusses Henrik Ibsen?s "A Doll?s House" and shows it to be an excellent portrayal of interesting techniques in narrative writing. The paper focuses on the author's use of names to depict the qualities of each character. The paper concludes by explaining that there are several clues in the play which allow the reader to decide the real ending of the play.
From the Paper
"?Torvald? sounds as though it is a combination of the Norse god ?Tor? and the Viking afterlife ?Valhalla? --- here you see the refrain, the sound of the word ?hell?, which is present in his last name, ?Helmer? which seems to be a combination of ?hell? and ?hammer?. Nora is in hell but lives in a fantasy of paradise just as the Viking Valhalla is actually hell that is made into a heaven by any inhabitant?s own imagination. You can see this in the fact that both Nora and Helmer are not very honest with each other. While it is true and clear that Helmer never discusses the daily issues and important matters of their lives, neither does Nora. Did Nora discuss with Torvald the need for them to live in Italy for a year (1082)? Did she sit with her husband and discuss issues concerning money to make such a trip feasible(1082)? Did she honestly inform where the money came from? Did Nora ever tell the truth that she had ?borrowed? the money from Krogstad, how she was repaying the ?the loan? and what she did to secure the loan (1091)? The answer to all these questions is of course no! These facts alone show how childish she was."

Abstract
In light of the globalisation phenomenon, this paper attempts to apply Raymond Vernon's International Product Life Cycle theory to determine why and under what conditions are people more likely to buy brand names rather than their generic counterparts.
Outline
Introduction
The International Product Life Cycle Theory
Introduction Stage
Growth Stage
Maturity Stage
Decline Stage
Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to Vernon?s theory, introduction of the new product takes place in the highest-income, highest wage country where the products found their first demand. More often than not, this is in industrialized countries because ??they have demanding consumers, scientists and engineers and high incomes?. Hart (1998, p.8) is of the opinion that the inhabitants of developed countries are the major consumers of branded goods. In light of this, it is therefore safe to say that one of the conditions under which people would buy brand names of products in the introduction stage would be if they are living (and working) in a developed country."

Abstract
This paper uses the example of Ralph Ellison to illustrate the significance of one's name. The paper explores the way a person's name can affect how that person seems himself, as well as how others see him. It points out that a person's name can be burdensome, but can also be an important part of self-evaluation and reflection.
From the Paper
"Ralph Ellison would be another one of those nay Sayers, who would tell Juliet that names are quite important. He was born disliking his own name and even though he eventually came to like the oddity of his name, he would never deny the significance of his ?naming.? According to his 1964 essay "Hidden Name and Complex Fate," his father gave Ellison his name. He was named, not for a family member, but for the nineteenth-century American philosopher and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson."

The Naming Process, 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses various aspects of naming, including those used by parents to name their children. The paper looks at how family tradition, the connection to ethnic roots affect the naming process and examines mainstream names and one-of-a-kind names. The importance of name selection is also discussed.
From the Paper
"The process by means of which an individual acquires a name has been described by Bonnie Wach as a somewhat tortured and complex process. Once upon a time parents tended to name their children in the United States after a living or deceased relative who was supposed to feel honored that his or her name would be carried on in another generation. In some families this tradition has taken on extremes leading to names such as Donald Clayton Bonnette Beauregard IV. In other American..."

Methodology
From the Paper
"General document review will be used for the purposes of this dissertation. Document review is a qualitative method that involves the analysis of existing records (Overview of Qualitative Methods and Analytic Techniques). This method is often used when insights related to a specific subject cannot be obtained using other methods (Overview of Qualitative Methods and Analytic Techniques). As it relates to this particular method the documents used are defined as any recorded or written material that was not created for the purposes of the analysis (Overview of Qualitative Methods and Analytic Techniques). Generally these documents are placed into two categories: public records and personal documents (Overview of Qualitative Methods and Analytic Techniques)."
