This should answer your question about entropy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory) tl;dr If you use names that are similar to other names, you will convey less information every time you use such names. So pick a name which doesn't require additional bits to disambiguate. Note that English conveys roughly 1 bit of information per word.
