Actually don't you think it will increase the possibility ? There are 
much less possibilties of properly naming an object than badly naming it.
So if everybody tend to properly name their object with their obvious 
version like you proposed, the set of possible names will decrease, 
increasing the clash ratio.

I'm just nitpicking by the way, but it may be better to ask for better 
namespacing instead of naming (which is good thing but unrelated to the 
OP issue).
