I find the thesaurus helps a lot with this. Actually more than just naming, because often a word in the synonym list will stand out as a more accurate representation of the concept you’re trying to add to the code, in a way that reveals subtasks that will substantially increase the value of the feature.

In short I use it as a form of rubber ducking. No it’s not like this word, it’s more like that one, but most of all like this one.
