To nominate or to name

[Julian-Dumitrascu]

It is incorrect to say: “to name a nominee”
To create the word “nominee”, one has combined the root of this Latin word with a French suffix.
It is natural to create words in language 1 by using means of language 1, so it’s a double mistake to create words in language 1 by using components from language 2 and language 3.
Some people have increased unnecessarily the words to which they append the suffix “-ee” because they don’t master certain parts of the English language and have let themselves drawn into a fashion that worsens communication.
It is not recommendable to take such actions in the English language, because it has proven many times difficult for English speakers to understand French and Latin, especially Latin.
“To nominate” is closely related semantically to “to name”.
It is correct to say: to nominate someone
Of course you can use a synonym of “to nominate” that feels more familiar, e.g. because it’s a Germanic word.
