'EditContactPopup' vs 'ContactEditPopup' which one is right?

Question

I'm non-English speaker and want to know proper ordering of words.

I always confuse the two:

• verb + noun + Popup(or whatever)
• noun + verb + Popup(or whatever)

Which one should I use?

Answer 1

First, take Popup entirely out of the equation; it is just a descriptor. Then, as for whether you should go for verb + noun or noun + verb, it depends on whether the noun is the subject or the object of the sentence:

We can then follow the subject-verb-object sentence structure. In this particular case, you want EditContact, as the noun, contact, is the object of the sentence.
