Naming is hard because communicating is hard: you have to build a mental model in the mind of the future programmer that’s useful enough to allow them to work on the project and get stuff done reasonably quickly and not accidentally break something due to a misunderstanding. I see a lot of people struggle with naming because they’re trying to materialise the ‘right’ name, when all you really need is one that’s good enough, unlikely to be misinterpreted, easy to find/look up docs, etc.
