Disagree, especially using that first name pops into your mind.

Obviously, if it needs a name or would greatly benefit from a name, give it a name. But have it at least somewhat descriptive. EPDSan, Sanepd, ESpair or some other variation is a lot better then "the first thing that comes to mind".

No one knows what San, EPD, EPDSan, Sanepd, Kep, etc, are. No matter what the word, you have to learn it, and it's a small one time cost, and you're done. The additional cognitive load to learn a made up term is negligible.
