A written name is a series of written symbols used to represent an entity.

A name is not just "written symbols it has meaning, like if I called my brother a dork than he might be offended.

That's because he translates the series of symbols (or sounds) "dork" into its meaning. He is aware of the system of notation you used to write/say what you meant.

Call someone who doesn't understand English "dork", and he won't be offended.

What does telling him to get you milk have anything to do with the issue at hand?

I'm saying that you are using notation as a general statement I'm saying that as humans we are different than say books or something like that.

No I'm saying just because a book has notations in it, it's different than humans WHO CAN UNDERSTAND THEM, they can also move of their own free-will.

You can't even reply to 1 thing I say because you know I'm right but you just refuse to admit it.

Books are different from people, yes. Did I say otherwise? No.

That this is all COMPLETELY irrelevant to discussion about notation doesn't seem to bother you.
