In the day, I learned from Smalltalk with Style: http://sdmeta.gforge.inria.fr/FreeBooks/WithStyle/SmalltalkWithStyle.pdf
On PDF-page 13 naming starts. On PDF-page 29 parameter names are explained (but refers back to typed names for example). Naming ends at PDF-page 35. So quite elaborate explanation of naming ;-). In practice I also mix typed names (aCollection), semantic names (addresses) and a combination (anAddressCollection). I prefer the combination except for trivial situations or when the (class and) method name provide(s) enough context (name: aString). This later might in itself be less trivial if the context get broader than class and method (name). @Tim, the book might be useful for more than just naming since it covers quite some ground. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
