Abstract
The phenomenon associated with the mystery of the use of proper names has been debated by philosophers for over a century. Philosopher G. Frege provided one of the most profound theories to this problem in that he showed that senses, as well as references, played a vital role to our understanding of names. For J.S. Mill, a proper name was an essentially meaningless mark that people used in order to connect certain ideas and things in their minds. According to Mill, the function of proper names was not to get certain general information across to anyone, since names did not really carry any meaning in and of themselves. They were simply used to allow people to be make some kind of sense out of their conversation.
