It depends on the application.
But if this was, for instance, Directory, I would strongly suggest that
you keep the number of separate names as low as possible.

You should only use separate names for things when there is a need to actually
distinguish between the two objects, as for instance if the name syntax was
the only thing that set a human apart from a computer (not good design,
I think).

My opinion only.....
