Java : how to name a new interface?

Question

What is the better way to name a new interface ? Would you write HasName or Nameable?

Is there a general computer science standard, or only a Java habbit ?

AFAIK there is no standard and thus primarily opinion based. There are several conventions/systems and each have their pros and cons so just chose one thats appropriate (or chose more if necessary). You just should find a system that works for you and stick with it. — Thomas, Oct 07 '16 at 12:23

Interface names may be nouns or noun phrases (for example, List).

But may sometimes be adjectives or adjective phrases instead (for example, Readable). They should end with -able or -ible whenever the interface provides a capability.

Interface names follow the same capitalization convention as class names:

public interface Serializable {...}
public interface SystemPanel {...}
