A definition is a name. For instance one of many definitions of pi.
That can be used to distinguish it from three.
Extensionality says that sets with same elements are identical.
Therefore it must be possible, in ZF, to fix whether elements are same
or not. Therefore it must be possible to compare and to recognize
elements. For that sake you need names, unless the elements are
material objects. That's part of ZF.
