Popular keywords in vars, functions etc. names?

Question

Hello, help me please with naming vars and functions!

And more specifically about standartizing names and functions (I'm not talking about classes because sometimes it really depends on FrameWork etc.).

For example: list, map, counter/count (or cnt), quantity (or qnty) etc.

I'm asking because sometime it is really difficult for me to find best name (English ins't my native janguage, Russian is. :)).

Thank you.

I think this question is a little too general. What programming language are you referring to. The "standards" are different for different languages. For example in general C++ functions are named something like manipulateArrayData(char* pArray, int nLength) and in C# it would be something like ManipulateArrayData(char[] array) (no length parameter needed in C#)
