Also Brent, Bruno, Telmo, Samiya, Donald Trump, etc. Some mystical traditions liked to enumerate all the possible names of God. I remember reading "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco, and at some point in the text he even offers a program in BASIC to enumerate the names. Speaking of programming computers, I remember learning to program in C a long time ago, and being confronted with the idea of "pointer". A pointer is a variable name that refers to a location in memory. Many different names can point to the same thing. Nothing profound about any of this. To cite another mystical tradition: "the dao seeks the lowest level". People who insist on one name being more important than all others are being silly, and they can do extremely evil things in name of this silliness. People who insist on zero names are also silly, and can also do evil things in the name of this idea.
