If you call your data exporter "Asparagus" I will throw a thesaurus at you every day until you come up with a better name for it that has some kind of mnemonic link to what it does. "Data Exporter" is okay, but "Catapult" or "Superhighway" or another whimsical name would be okay too, so long as it loosely matches the problem domain in a memorable way.

I personally would prefer my exporter to focus on precision, not distance.
So clearly, it wouldn't be "Asparagus", it would be "Beef" (as in Kobe).
