Those all seem too much alike to me -- I'll probably use "f025566c-8dff-4f41-b891-f37d19b470bb" sometime by mistake when I reallly mean "a491956a-023e-4a60-8eeb-7cb37ef80b13".

I suggest "wall", "spear", "rope", "fan" and "snake"

I guess the day when we program in a natural language is still a ways off.
