Category Naming

There seems to be something almost magical about giving something the "right" name.

General names in English and other natural languages -- non-programming linguistic questions about naming people, machines, cities, countries, etc.:

• NameMagic
• NamingConqueredLands
• NamesGivenToComputers
• TipsForNamingComputers

File names and Wiki page names / page titles

• ChoosingWikiNames
• OtherWardsWikiNameSuggestions
• LinkNameIsPageName
• TooShortTooPithy
• ForthishWikiName
• LongTitlesSmell

(Is there a page on human-readable URLs somewhere, perhaps on another Wiki?)

Software names (variable names, method names, class names, etc.):

• MeaningfulName
• AreLongAndDescriptiveRelated
• VeryLongDescriptiveNamesThatProgrammingPairsThinkProvideGoodDescriptions
• NameThingsWhatYouCallThem
• MethodsWithNounNames
• RoleSuggestingVariable
• IdentifiersAreComments
• NameSpace
• IdentifierPrefix
• HungarianNotation
• UncleBobsNamingConventions

Do all three of these areas have good principles and patterns in common ? I think the idea of NameSpace can be generalized to all of them ...

EditHint: Do we need CategoryProductNaming? to distinguish between object naming (e.g. variables & columns) and application, product, or device names?
