What is it, named or called? [on hold]












0














It seems to me that there has been a move away from named when identifying someone - like in a news report.



Named seems more precise - I would use called with a nickname - i.e. A man called Rocky or Butch.

    I think you'll need to be more specific about what your question is - at the moment you've typed two statements, neither of which is a question.

Saying someone us called by a name C allows one to provide either the given name, or a nickname (like “Rocky,” “Butch,” or “The Mooch”), whereas saying someone is named with a name N would normally mean it is their legal name.
