# receiver-naming

**Default severity:** `warning`

Rejects receiver names `this` and `self`, and requires every method on the same
receiver type to use the same receiver name. It does not derive or enforce a
particular abbreviation and does not impose a maximum length.

## Bad

```go
func (self *Client) Send() error
```

## Good

```go
func (c *Client) Send() error
```
