The Science of Naming

I've been working on Template::Benchmark some more this week and I've hit a brick wall, one entirely of my own stubborn making.

One of the major roadblocks to releasing v1.00 is that I'm unhappy with the name of one of the major conceptual elements of the module: I want to come up with a better name and, it being a major element, I don't want to change it after I've moved to a stable release.

Naming things well is something I'm extremely fussy about and one I've thought about often, so the factors that make a good name seemed like a worthy topic for this week's blog.
