      "The name one gives is inessential. What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet."

      Reminds of :

      “The day you teach the child the name of the bird, the child will never see that bird again.” (Krishnamurti)

      Got any more buddhist takes on "names" ?

        This is not Buddhist like you ask, but this theme is also common to Daoism

        Nameless: the origin of heaven and earth.

        Naming: the mother of ten thousand things.

        Empty of desire, percieve mystery.

        Filled with desire, percieve manifestations.
