I type out the names as I go... it is good practice this way because if you are doing a complicated algorithm using crappy non-descriptive var names, you won�t understand it 5 mins after you finish it. I also really hate it when people put the var type at the beginning of the name, you should be able to tell what type it is by the code. I also hate it when people have underscores in the var names, it makes it harder to read cause they look like spaces.

usually nowadays i use semi-desciptive var names, replace them later with REALLY descriptive var names, and use crappy a, b, c, x, y, z, names for objects that may or may not be replaced.
