There are more things to be named than good names, and also what constitutes a good name depends on our individual perception (prior experiences, cultural background, neurological disposition, etc.).

Looking at it from the other side: Why are we so hung up on names? It’s not that we shouldn’t, but it’s an interesting topic. A computer doesn’t care as long as a name is syntactically unambiguous and fits the lengths constraints.
