Help! These component names are confusing!

In this project there are several components just related to posted questions, all in the static module. We start with the question-list, which is a list of preview-question components. This is a list of questions for users to browse through for reading/answering. When one of these preview-question components is clicked, it routes the user to a view-question component built using that question. This view-question component itself contains a question component for the actual question, in addition to responses and other content. In summation:

question-list : a list of preview-question components
preview-question : a limited preview that links to view-question
view-question : a full view of a question and associated responses
question : the component that represents the question itself in the view-question component *_ask-question: where user submits a question *_ask-question: component where user submits a question
