well, great minds think alike.   i usually keep them the same unless there is a 
compelling reason to have them different.  but we do have some programs written 
with separate names, and everytime you make a change, you need to go into the 
moves and make sure you don't miss anything.  i think they were done that way 
to print changes before and after.  but now
no one even prints out the change edits anymore...
