   Descriptivists claim that names are disguised descriptions:  perhaps a rigidified description like the foregoing captures that content of ‘Petrarch’.  Direct reference theorists deny that names have descriptive content like this.  Either way, the rigidity of names and even de jure rigidity of names could plausibly be honored (as opponents of direct reference hold, such as Plantinga 1985, pp. 82–7; Sidelle 1992; 1995; Justice 2003; the same goes for hybid views as well as the polar views discussed:  Garcia-Carpintero 2018).
