For languages that support Unicode identifiers, you could zalgo-ify the name to increase the friction:

(Yes this is actually a valid Unicode identifier.)

Now that I think of it, a more toned-down version could be:

And it's a perfectly valid function name in Ruby: https://replit.com/@brandt1/WatchfulTemptingRecursion#main.r...

Also works in .NET, although Visual Studio really doesn't like the identifiers.
