Best Answer

Proper nouns can be countable or uncountable, depending on the noun. If a noun is uncountable as a common noun, it is uncountable as a proper noun; for example:

  • tea is an uncountable noun: a cup of tea or Lipton Tea
  • courage is an uncountable noun: she has a lot of courage or 'The Red Badge of Courage'
  • sunshine is an uncountable noun: a ray of sunshine or Sunshine VIC, Australia

If a noun is countable as a common noun, it is countable as a proper noun; for example:

  • one apple, two apples or Mott's Apple Juice
  • one boy, two boys or Boy's Life magazine
  • one statue, two statues or The Statue of Liberty
