Is there any countable ordinal number which has a member undefinable?

The standard reference to this is the paper "The Elementary Theory of Well-Ordering -- A Metamathematical Study --" by Doner, Mostowski and Tarski in Logic Colloquim '77 Ed. Macintyre, Pacholski and Paris. In particular the Corollary 46 states:

The set of ordinals definable in $\mathfrak N_\alpha$ [$=\langle \alpha, \le\rangle$], where $\alpha = \omega^\omega \cdot \beta + \gamma$ with $0 < \beta, \gamma < \omega^\omega$, is $$\omega^\omega \cup \{\omega^\omega \cdot \beta + \gamma' : \gamma' < \gamma\}$$ In fact, the restriction of $\mathfrak N_\alpha$ to this set is an elementary substructure of $\mathfrak N_\alpha$.

It follows that every ordinal is definable in $\omega^\omega + \gamma$ for $\gamma < \omega^\omega$. However $\omega^\omega$ is not definable in $\omega^\omega \cdot 2$. So $\omega^\omega \cdot 2 \in Q$.


Suppose we have limit ordinals $\alpha < \beta$ and $L_\alpha \prec L_\beta$, then by Theorem 2.4 in Undefinable sets, Rudolf v.B. Rucker, Annals of Mathematical Logic Volume 6, Issues 3–4, March 1974, Pages 395–419 which states

lf x is a model of V=L, then $\alpha$ is strongly inconceivable in x iff $L_\alpha\prec x$. Here $\alpha$ is strongly inconceivable in x means for all $\beta\geq \alpha$, $\beta$ is not definable in $\langle x,\in \rangle$ with parameters from $\alpha\cap x$.

Then $\alpha$ is not definable in $\langle L_\beta,\in\rangle$ with finitely many parameters from $\alpha$. Therefore, $\alpha$ is not definable in $\langle \beta,\in\rangle$ since we could define in $L_\beta$ "x is an ordinal" by describing x to be transitive and totally ordered. It is known that $\{\alpha: L_\alpha\prec L_{\omega_1}\}$ is a closed unbounded set so we could always pick two countable ordinals $\alpha,\beta$ whose properties are described as above. However, it does not really give you the exact ordinal though.
