Gottlob Frege and Saul Kripke have a lot to say about names because theirs are particularly stupid ones. Namely (ha!) the question dates back to Aristotle about how names actually work. How do words relate to facts about the world? You might be surprised to know that we are still arguing about it because the Morning Star and the Evening Star are actually the same thing and it's not a star at all and apparently that just messes up everything.
But don't worry, it probably doesn't change anything. Still, the evidence that every decision you think you're making is just another collision in a game of marbles that's been going on since the Big Bang is pretty conclusive, and remember that the people saying this are the same people who don't think there's enough evidence to prove the chairs they're sitting on are actually there.
