Both names and UUIDs identify objects. But names are separable from the objects they identify, and are only as trustworthy as the binding information their entries contain. UUIDs, on the other hand, are inalienable identifiers. Once the desired binding information for an interface or an interface/object combination has been found and used, the name that was used to retrieve it can be forgotten; it is of no further use. This is not true of either interface or object UUIDs.
Note that names become completely unnecessary only if clients have some other means of obtaining valid binding information for the desired service, such as string bindings.
The following figure illustrates how the information a client finds through a name is turned into network contact with the object named.
