名稱 usually refers to the name of a thing or the name of an organization 名字 is mostly used when referring to the name of a person

名稱 : 事物的名目稱謂。如:「凡物皆有名稱。」 名字 : 除了包含 名稱 的意義外 也指 一個人的 1 名與字號。古代男子一出生就命名,二十歲成人,行冠禮又加字,合稱「名字」。 後來在字之外,又有號,自稱用「名」,別人為表示禮敬,以字或號相稱。 2 姓與名。這是名字一詞的最常用法 。 故 名稱 名字 都可用以稱呼 事 物 但 用以指稱人 則以 名字 為恰當 名字 有其背後的文化存在

若把 名字 的 字 簡單視為 word / character 當然無法判別其適用情況
