    You have my sympathy and apologies. I suppose we're all suffer from OCD when it comes to naming (there's a quite recent thread on that), so we replied without thinking. Voting you down seems a bit rash harsh, though. I'm innocent (of that, at least)!

    In general magical lore, some schools believe learning the true name of any entity give the magician full control over that entity.  I believe that actually applies to a significant extent in OOD.

      I said that much further up the thread and without the space in the name. I wonder if people will like now that you have suggested it, noone liked it when I did.

        (This is not a programming question). I have a bunch of Foo objects, all of which are controlled by a FooManager. What would you name an object that controls a collection of FooManagers? [edit] Foo, FooManager and the manager of FooManagers are all processes in a distributed system. [/edit] [edit] John C is right - this really does belong in the Design forum. I might have actually got more than a couple of useful answers if I'd posted there in the first place. :-D [/edit] Thanks, /ravi

            This belongs to the design forum when you banish the endless questions on hardware, VS, and what not to the respective forums. Sure, you could have posted this in the design forum, but something like "What do I name this?" is not inappropriate for the Lounge IMO.

              WhyTF did you start with that stupid name in the first place? And just what does 'Foo' mean anyway? You probably dont knmow, and you just use it because you think it makes you look cool because you read it in some crappy SW book written by an American, because, god knows, only an American would ever use it anyway.

                                Foo is one of the most revered and ancient placeholder names ever used in computer science, along with its friend Bar (occasionally they join to become The Mighty FooBar). Using it shows experience and literacy (and/or age, possibly - which also calls for respect). What it means? That has been the subject of much musing in the industry... as has its origins. Google for "jargon file" for one particularly well-written attempt at enlightenment (also discusses the possible relation to fubar).

                                        Thanks, now I can go to sleep again... :-) You already had me googling for volumes 4 & 5. Nothing new since I looked last time, though - parts of volume 4 are available, volume 5 still scheduled for 2015... http://www-cs-staff.stanford.edu/~uno/[^]
