Finding good names

My go-to resources for finding good names for variables, functions, and everything else that needs naming.

thesaurus — nicely laid-out synonyms/antonyms
wordhippo — very thorough “another word for” search, that goes beyond synonyms, but can be a little sluggish
Power Thesaurus Alfred Worflow — if you’re using Alfred this is my favorite way to quickly lookup synonyms and antonyms
