namers
Those who designate
People who name things—whether children, products, characters, or concepts.
The word appears most often in compounds or phrases: baby namers, brand namers, name-the-namers.
Professional namers develop names for companies and products.
In philosophical contexts, namers are those who assign words to things, invoking ancient debates about whether names are natural or arbitrary.
