I would have to disagree with this, Ohio.

Some purely independent congregations fairly clearly practice a species of denominationalism. There is no requirement to have a regional, national or international headquarters to separate oneself from general Christianity in an exclusive and named group (although, a headquarters does pretty clearly indicate the existence of a denomination!)

The word "denominate" simply means "to give a name".
