Steve,
 
As much as I agree with you, the table names are far to long. And wouldn't work in our current framework without us making so many changes to the framework its not funny. In our Forums software that I wrote I have this
 
fmForumCategories
fmForumTopics
fmForumMessages
 
I think this is still easy to understand and read. And as each table as a link to each other its easy to create and view relationships anyway.

I take it you've never had to work with a db that you haven't designed yourself?

Name them properly in the begining then you dont need to

for example, i have a table called ForumTopisToForumCategories, indicating
to me that its a joiner table between Forum Topics and Forum Categories

If you wanted to then make it short hand for your SQL you coulf alias to be
FTTFC or something, but its rare.

I only alias if i am joining a table onto its self
