I'd be keen to hear too.

For the projects I worked on, these fairly empty base classes
that mostly have a role of indicating "this object belongs to this general
group"
do come up with a certain regularity. Calling them all "base" when they
have that role
actually can be quite clarifying in practice, it ends up working like a
declaration of intent

This is why I  feel David's name actually was a rather good choice
