No. Names were not used. He simply said, “I baptize you unto the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,” or “I baptize you in water unto repentance, but there is one coming after me who will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire!” (See Luke 3: 16-17).  

Probably the key word in John’s formula is the word “unto.” His ministry was pivotal in the history of salvation. It was the transition between the old and New Covenants. His baptism pointed those in Israel who would repent and believe toward their true hope, the Lord Jesus Christ.
