Hi Joe,

My personal pref is meaningfull names or abreviations - never exceeding
then 10 chars in lenght.

In this case I would simply call them
'StartTime'
'DueDate'

But Social Security Number wld have been something like;

SocSecNo

When you cross 10 char limit, you are inn for all kind of surprises.
