Where did you get the idea that an Ada temporary file requires a name?

There are only two mentions of temporary files in the LRM, viz.:

A.8.2 (4) A null string for Name specifies an external file that is
not accessible after the completion of the main program (a temporary
file). A null string for Form specifies the use of the default
options of the implementation for the external file.

A.8. (23) The exception Status_Error is propagated if the given file
is not open. The exception Use_Error is propagated if the associated
external file is a temporary file that cannot be opened by any name.

Thus, an Ada temporary file is also unnamed.

Respectfully,
