In this case it's a symptom of poor cohesion and separation of concerns. If you find you're having to give very long names for things, it's worth looking for a way to decompose it into separate things that each do one simple thing. Then more than likely writing the code that composes the separate objects with the right operations will be the perfect substitute for the long name, and it will also be easier to maintain, since you won't have to update both the variable name and the logic that uses it; rewriting the actual expression or logic where it is used will take care of both tasks in one. This is what I usually take from the principle of letting the code itself be your documentation, where reasonable.
