Although the term 'a word which names...' is a common definition for a noun, I believe it is a flawed definition. I believe that this terminology should be removed from all texts and teaching materials.

A word that is a name is a proper noun, not just any noun. A noun is a word for a person, place, or thing. A proper noun is the name of a person, place, or thing.
