 In that scenario you then need to worry about "noun & verb."   

When someone names their  *FILEs "APNAMES", "APNAMES1", "APNAMES2" and names
their *PGMs "APNAMES", "APNAMES1", "APNAMES2" you have a recipe for disaster
  One source file named QAPSRC   prevents those kinds of names collision.

Actually Booth, if by "compiled objects" you mean programs and files, no, 
they do not need a unique name. The iSeries differentiates by object 
type. Or you can think of it in PC terms WRKLNK 
'/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/MYOBJ.*' may result in MYOBJ.PGM, MYOBJ.FILE, 
MYOBJ.DTAARA, etc.
 
If by "compiled objects" you mean the RPGLE and the CL program you are 
right. But then that is all the more reason for keeping program source in 
one source physical file, to avoid name collisions.

careful! The compiled objects need unique names, too.

I have thought about the names of my source members and objects a lot in 
the
 
past couple of weeks, and being that there is such a huge limitation on 
the
 
amount of chars you can use to name something I am wondering why we even 
use
 
a suffix when we have the object type to do that for us??
 
 
 
Of course you would have to put your source in different source members 
like
 
QDDSSRC, QDSPSRC, QMODSRC, QSRVSRC, QPNLSRC, QRPGLESRC, etc so they 
wouldn't
 
collide in the source physical file.
 
 
 
I wonder if that limitation (max of 10 characters for names) is ever going
 
to get better??
