You have offered an explanation, of sorts, but still no clarity. How is it that all of us have been developing for more than a decade and never required longer names, and yet "you" have a problem?

I'd reconsider your "need" and reconsider it to be just a "preference" and one that many think indicative of a bad design, or in my case, indicative of a front-end developer thinking that they can treat the back-end with the same rules: You can't.
