Absolutely. Software as we know it could not exist without abstration, and abstraction can not exist without names for things. Sometimes a new name is required because a particular concept or application is relatively novel, but if you decline the challenge of naming it then progress stops immediately. No future applications will be built on top of an unnamed abstraction.
