I found a hugely insightful article on naming. It encourages concise naming, and lays out really clear principles on how to name variables well.

“A name has two goals:

  • It needs to be clear: you need to know what the name refers to.
  • It needs to be precise: you need to know what it does not refer to.

After a name has accomplished those goals, any additional characters are dead weight.”
