    No, I would not be happy with that.

    Any time you give two different things the same name you are inviting confusion. I don't even like having names that are particularly close to each other if they are going to be used in the same code. For example, if I have a single variable called Bird, then I wouldn't create a List of them called Birds. I want all my elements to be unequivocally distinct, even if it is technically possible to do otherwise.
    My usual boring signature: Nothing

    Just out of curiosity, what would you call it? Due to force of habit I'd end up calling it BirdList ...
