-## Name a container
-
-You've already seen that each container you create has an automatically
-created name; indeed you've become familiar with our old friend
-`nostalgic_morse` during this guide. You can also name containers
-yourself. This naming provides two useful functions:
-
-*  You can name containers that do specific functions in a way
-   that makes it easier for you to remember them, for example naming a
-   container containing a web application `web`.
-
-*  Names provide Docker with a reference point that allows it to refer to other
-   containers. There are several commands that support this and you'll use one in an exercise later.
-
-You name your container by using the `--name` flag, for example launch a new container called web:
-
-    $ docker run -d -P --name web training/webapp python app.py
-
-Use the `docker ps` command to check the name:
-
-    $ docker ps -l

-    CONTAINER ID  IMAGE                  COMMAND        CREATED       STATUS       PORTS                    NAMES

-You can also use `docker inspect` with the container's name.

-    $ docker inspect web

-Container names must be unique. That means you can only call one container
-`web`. If you want to re-use a container name you must delete the old container
-(with `docker rm`) before you can reuse the name with a new container. Go ahead and stop and remove your old `web` container.

-    $ docker stop web
