For example VisaCreditCard as opposed to SimpleVisaCreditCardImplementation. OK its a bad example but you get my drift. Equally as bad would be an overly short name like VCCImpl. You should try to convey what the class is as succintly as possible. If you need to, you should also clarify what it does using comments.
