No. This is the wrong place to go for short names.
It would be nice to hear more than "no" when I provided two very
good reasons for why I think this is the right place to go for a

I like the name `list`.
Define your own alias that way and let the long
self-explanatory be.
Consistency is king; the standard name will almost always trump
any other name for readability. Defaults are important :)
