When it comes to naming conventions, the only thing worse than unnecessarily long names is max length requirements. People start yanking out vowels and using acronyms that nobody knows, and you're left with an unintelligible mess. I would rather have to type out a 20 letter descriptive name than try and remember a 6 character equivalent.
