Not sure if this has been brought up before, but the naming of the technic liftarms leaves something to be desired. It seems mostly the thin ones have just the dimensions, thick ones have "straight" appended. Except for the 4L liftarms. Bricklink (...)

Personally, I think the naming should be like this: For parts with axle holes, use the Liftarm designation e.g. Technic Liftarm 1 x 11.5 Double Bent for part 32009 and Technic Liftarm 1 x 3 Thin with Click Rotation Hinge Half Socket for part 41679 (...)

(...) Two alternate thoughts (which I'm pretty sure have been mentioned before): 1. Stick with 'liftarm' for the half-width parts, and 'beam' for full-width parts. 2. Use 'liftarm' for parts with crossaxle holes, and 'beam' for parts with only (...) (21 years ago, 5-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.db.brictionary)
