And a good way to know if it doesn’t is to read it where it gets used. If, after reading it, you have questions then something is wrong with the name.

A good example is this code that I run into:

if (handleClickItem(customer)) {
    return;
}

When I read this piece of code the very first thing that popped into my head was

How does the click gets handled?!

To figure that out I had to step into the function’s body and start reading it in order to understand what it does and when. It broke my flow and made me change context.

Turned out that this particular function, depending on the customer’s type, opens the contact’s screen and returns true or simply returns false. Having read something like:

if (openContactsScreenWhenCustomerIsCompany(customer)) {
    return;
}

would have been enough for me to simply keep reading and never look back.
