Chairs, couches, tables, desks, beds, cars, pens, phones, trees, windows (can you tell how I came up with this list? ;). Those are all object types without names to identify individual instances. "Ed's chair" and "John's blue car" aren't names to me, just descriptions. It's like saying "that temporary object on line 24 of function foo". Really, how many things *do* have names?
