name
When used as a noun, "name" usually refers to the specific label given to someone. However, it can also mean a person's reputation (e.g., "He has a good name in the community"). As a verb, "name" is transitive, meaning it always needs an object. You name something or someone. In formal contexts, "naming" can also mean appointing someone to a specific position, such as naming a successor.
