Comment on A made-up name is better than no nameparent

Yah. If your big project has 2 kinds of objects, handles, designators, whatever that are used frequently... and their alternative english names are awkward, long, and/or misleading... give them a short pronounceable name. I endorse this 100%.

Don't do it 15 times, though, because then it's going to slow down onboarding more than the benefit you get.
