Not to be pedantic -- and maybe you're trying to keep things simple -- but they aren't named arguments at all. This has been brought up in several places; I posted a link to a simple proof of this on cocoa-dev recently.
Again, maybe you're trying to keep things simple, or you think "named arguments" is a close enough description for beginners (there's time later to fine-tune their understanding), but IMO it's better not to feed the misconception.
