Namespaces in .NET are meant to

  • Group logical pieces of code together
  • Prevent conflicts caused by use of common names

That said it's fairly open for doing naming that is interesting, funny or just different.

Do you have any examples of these different names?

I am not looking for Good namespace naming - rather the fun or different side, even if it goes against proven practices.

A: 

An example of one I saw was everyone in the team had their own namespace, for example:

  • Company.Product.Jim
  • Company.Product.Bob

When I asked about this, it was so they could track who did what and prevent conflicts when checking in.

Hehe, that's a funny use for a namespace. They should go for a CVS if they want to track who did what and when! :)

That is quite possibly the worst example of namespace usage I've seen. Merge is your friend.

This example didn't happen to come from TheDailyWTF.com, did it?
