Imena jednaka polaznim jedinicama na izraznom planu (tj. nastala bez ikakvih formalnih preinaka) u ovom se radu proučavaju iz terminološko-onomastičke i tvorbene perspektive. Uspoređuju se pristupi različitih autora, a pritom se upozorava na terminološku neujednačenost u literaturi. Naglašava se nužnost razlikovanja imenske tvorbe od neimenske tvorbe. Preispitivanjem dosad korištenih termina i njihovih definicija potvrđuje se prikladnost dijela terminā te ustanovljuje potreba za novim terminima koji bi trebali preciznije opisati različite pojave (tvorbene načine) i tako omogućiti isticanje nijansi među njihovim definicijama. Mnogobrojni primjeri iz različitih imenskih kategorija dokazuju plodnost tvorbenih načina temeljenih na izostanku formalnih preinaka u tvorbi iménā te argumentiraju primjenjivost predložene terminologije u onomastici općenito.The paper analyzes proper names created from initial units without applying any formal changes and studies them from terminological-onomastic and wordformation point of view. Approaches of different authors are compared and attention is drawn to the fact that professional literature lacks terminological uniformity. The need to distinguish proper name formation from general wordformation is emphasized. By reviewing the terms and definitions used so far, the appropriateness of some terms is confirmed and the need to describe and define more precisely different phenomena (i.e. types of proper name formation) is established in order to indicate nuances between them. Numerous examples of various proper name categories prove, on the one hand, how fruitful proper name formation is when no formal changes are applied, and on the other, serve as an argument for using the proposed terminology in general onomastics
