Hi people out there,

There use to be here, discussions about naming convention of types,  =

focusing on whether or not the _Type suffix should be used (I personally=
  =

opted for it). Don't want to come back to this one here, but about anoth=
er  =

common (common for me) name conflict: package names which conflict with =
 =

object names, as package names are often derived from a type name with a=
ny  =

suffix removed, and as type names are often derived from generic object =
 =

names, comes a name conflict with object names and packages names.

Most of time this does not occur, but when it do, it do. In the mean tim=
e,  =

I would like to as much strictly as possible, rely on one naming  =

convention for packages.

I am thinking the plural could play this role. There may be a limitation=
  =

to its application, as I feel to know some English nouns do not have a  =

plural, or are spelled the same for both their singular and plural.

Do you know another better and constant convention well suited for packa=
ge  =

names? Note: I don't mind if the convention does not match the one of  =

standard packages (I use _Type, and standard packages don't, and I never=
  =

bothered).

I'm seeking for any idea from any source.

Have a sweet time.
