Just my 2¢,
I generally prefer long names over acronyms (unless it's my own code no one will see). Is "Random" already taken? I think that is generally understood to mean randomnumbergenerator but a lot shorter. It's in java at least.

I'm going to create an interface for random number generators that can be passed around in the render context. Does anyone have a preference of:

RandomNumberGenerator (kind of long, but clear)

over

RNG (nice and short, but less clear perhaps)?
