Naming convention for modified classes?

R

Russell Wallace

Is there a naming convention for classes that are almost the same as
ones in the standard library? For example, a class that's a
DataInputStream except with an added method to read strings over 64K?
ModifiedDataInputStream and DataInputStreamWithLongStrings seem
excessively ugly.

Another very ugly, but common naming schema is "My<something>". :-(

In the above case I would maybe call the class DataInputStream64k or
Data64InputStream.
