I don't see things like that.
module names should explain the content of it and the name of the Model should
be linked only to what it does and to which concept it is linked.

But indeed, the more I look at the naming in GNUHealth, the more I find it
confusing.
If I take the module health_pediatrics, any Models have "pediatric" in his
name. How can a developer find that 'gnuhealth.newborn' comes from this
module?
I don't know if it is the name of the Models or the name of the module which
needs to be fixed, but I find this is confusing and will be more and more when
new modules will be added.

Also for your information, we plan to remove in the future the _name in Model
and just use the class name.
