- It depends on the application.
- But if this was, for instance, Directory, I would strongly suggest that
- you keep the number of separate names as low as possible.

- You should only use separate names for things when there is a need to actually
- distinguish between the two objects, as for instance if the name syntax was
- the only thing that set a human apart from a computer (not good design,
- I think).
-
- My opinion only.....
