This presentation will examine the meaning of "names" today through an examination of "anonymity" and "real names," which have come to be referred to with the development of the Internet. We will review the concept of "anonymity" as discussed by urban sociology and information society theory, as well as "anonymity" as discussed by A. Schutz, and point out that modern society is a society based on "anonymity". Furthermore, based on the fact that "real names" are influenced by "power," it will be clarified that "names" do not originally imply "subjectivity," but are established through "relationships" and are constantly changing.
