Using “Base” in a Class Name

Question

Is it acceptable to use the word \'Base\' in a class name which is a the bottom of the inheritance tree?

I have always found this a bit of a cop-out, just wondering

Answer 1

I think it should probably be avoided where possible in favour of an identifier that actually describes what it is!

This question is difficult to answer because it's abstract. I might, for example, consider calling the base of MyClassA and MyClassB, "MyClass".
