An objective complement can be a noun or an adjective which follows the direct object renaming or modifying it. It is used with verbs like make, name, call, choose, elect, and appoint. It is not set off with commas as an appositive is.
Examples:
I call my dog Badger (oc).
I consider my dog smart (oc).
