abstract = "{The article discusses the semiotic consideration of Charles Sanders Peirce on proper names. The author relates that Peirce's theory of proper names implies the concerns on social practice of name changing, issue of identity and temporary insanity. The author adds that Peirce referred proper nouns to the categorization of rhematic indexical legisigns. Further, the author stresses that Pierce believes that it requires a sign that fit the continuity which a person demonstrates according to the regular patterns of behavior to which proper names point. In addition, the author provides preliminary ways in which Peirce's theory can be applied to the practical concerns and explains how semiosis consideration complements Peirce's ontology of persons.}",
