IETF RFC 3986 states that

A URI can be further classified as a locator, a name, or both.

I would be interested in an example of a URI that can not be considered being a name.

An example is the Content Identifier (RFC 2392) , eg. cid:28432, to reference resources like images inside the body of an email. It's not a name and not globally scoped.
