for loop counters i use i,j,k, etc

for results from routines i use "result"

for throwaways I usually use an abbreviated name that indicates the purpose.

if the purpose is obvious, and the variable has small locality in my routine, i may even name it something like "fn" to hold a filename, or p to hold a point.
Real programmers use butterflies
