Are you saying you want to have each class named according to its building
block pattern name, or something like that? I can't think of any good
reason to do this. The building block patterns are *not* the important
concepts in your domain model, the ubiquitous language is. Focus *first* on
the language of your domain model. The implementation patterns used to
represent the concepts are secondary concerns.
