… a company I once worked at named everything after characters from a certain TV show. Effectively the same as a made up name. Let's just say one of the character's name was … a tough one to pronounce. And it caused endless "what's a … Kep?" type questions.

The CTO at some point later on decreed "enough; descriptive names, not made up things" … and the experience was such that I agreed with the decree, and I've sort of felt that way ever since. I've given a few names sparingly to a few things, but mostly a.) they have some connection to the named thing and b.) I reach for it when the purpose isn't clear yet and thus "descriptive" can be hard to come by.

You could have named it a "PoMo" (portmanteau of position-move), if you're tired of typing.

I'm also a bit surprised since the examples are Rust? Some of the naming is sort of "Hungarian notation"-esque. Why not let the type carry that information, and strike it from the name?

That's why my servers tend to have boring names like "web-23" now. Given them fun names is fun, up until it isn't, and then it's really freaking annoying.
