Names should clearly communicate their actual behavior and preserve sufficient context for meaningful identification. For functions with conditional behavior, use descriptive suffixes like _if_needed or _maybe to indicate optionality. For paths and identifiers, maintain enough context to ensure usability - avoid over-shortening that removes essential information.
Examples:
wait_for_indexing() for conditional waiting, use wait_for_indexing_if_needed()/home/user/work/dir1/file.ext to just file.ext, preserve context as dir1/file.extThis ensures that names serve as clear documentation of intent and maintain practical usability for developers and tools.
