EXTRA CREDIT

Believe it or not, some people do not believe that names (especially fun ones like Hortense or Nerwin) are that good. As one person stated it: "What appears to be a proper name always turns out to be a proper mark. Homeless and anonymous, the wanderer 'doesn't even know who he is,' doesn't even know his identity-- FOR HE HAS NO IDENTITY, or at least no identity in the PROPER sense of the term."

What is the proper name of the individual who said this (trash)?
