I'm not very sure. That would suggest using exceedingly common names
(the, on, go, do, be, and, use...) which are often imprecise because
they are used in a variety of contexts (hence their frequency). I often
prefer a word that has a precise meaning.

Ok, has a precise meaning is a premise.
when have more than two phrases, choosing high that of use the tallest
phrase in the phrase ( Function name ) of word frequency .
For example:
getData and fetchData.
the choice getData
No offense, but I can't believe someone who knows very little of English makes
naming suggestions to native language speakers.
Maybe there is no difference between get and fetch to you, but there sure is
for others. I believe there are cases when one name is preferable over another
for clarity.
