Should a property have the same name as its type?

by

It’s fine. The canonical example here is

public Background {
    public Color Color { get; set; }
}

There are rare issues (corner cases) that come up here, but not enough to warrant avoiding this device. Frankly, I find this device quite useful. I would not enjoy not being able to do the following:

class Ticker { ... }


public StockQuote {
    public Ticker Ticker { get; set; }
}

I don’t want to have to say Ticker StockTicker or Ticker ThisTicker etc.
