It is. The question where between the implementation and the application
domains to search for names is religious. "xxx_Type" is the implementation
[language] side. "Character" is in the middle [general CS/programming]. The
domain's end could be "Zodiac_Sign" [Astronomy]. There are good arguments
against both ends, and the silent majority sticks to the middle leaning to
either end.
