This might be more interesting for users with none english LV Development Systems.
The automatically generated VIs created via
"New»VI for Data Member Access" = "Neu»VI zum Zugriff auf Daten"
in german have strange names; i.e. for acessing a class' variable "ID" names are:
"ID.vi lesen.vi" and "ID.vi schreiben.vi"
These names are hard to get used to so I always end up renaming them.
Even more important than not getting used to or not liking them is the fact that You HAVE to rename these VIs if You want to be able to exchange code with people who do not speak german.
We work together with foreign programmers and also deliver code to international customers so the german names really are useless.
I come from C++ and "Get Variable" and "Set Variable" is kind of a standard there.
So i.e. automatically created VIs that access the Class' variable "ID" should be named
"Set ID.vi" and "Get ID.vi"

This should be a CAR not an Idea Exchange entry. I have filed CAR 242146. It is too late to address this for LV 2010, and it doesn't meet the "high priority" tests for 2010 SP1, but I'll put it on the docket for 2011.

I still think this topic belongs here.
I did hope there might come up additional ideas concerning Automatically created VIs for Data access. E.g. automatically adding vaiable's name to the just created VI's Symbol. Right now I manually add the Variable's name to Symbol text line 3. This could be automated.
