I’ve heard the phrase that there are only two hard problems in computer science, and naming is one of them.

Just because it is hard is not a reason to avoid doing it.  Sometimes the fact that it is hard is the biggest reason why we should do it, and make sure we do it right.


We have a naming scheme, based on letters and the location.

IMO, we should stick with that, we just need to go further down the list on due diligence, both from a copyright/trademark/legal perspective as well as cultural and other sensitivities that might not have been obvious from the beginning.

YMMV.
