But: the broader the fame/notoriety of the entity, the shorter the name!
Just like in human culture.
Among your friends or family, you have a nickname. In a broader situation, you might go by your first name, and in a broader one still, by your full name.
But: if you're stinkin' famous, then you might get a nickname again, and everyone knows it.
I'm not going to give the Lisp cons function a seventeen letter name just because it is global.
