You have to be careful with your definitions. Don’t use different definitions of the same verb/noun in different places. You get one. If you need another definition elsewhere, use a synonym.

It is not beneath you to hit thesaurus.com while picking a name.

A thesaurus is one of my favorite dev tools.

100%. I use RhymeZone and Wordnik more than I care to admit during development work.
