[Steve Schveighoffer]

Choosing a name for something is not bad, it's one of the artistic and subjective parts of programming.  Intuitive names can make a function/library so much better to use.  It's always going to be contested, and always going to be subjective.  What's worse is when people don't recognize a function by it's name because it has two different names, or don't recognize the functionality provided by a function/property because the wrong name is used.

I almost never have trouble deciding whether something is a property or not, and I use them all the time in C#.  That is, I never have any more trouble deciding whether something is a property or not than I do deciding the text part of the name.
