If the name alone tells you what its purpose is, that saves a lot of time for people looking at your code.
Is_Turtle is not a bad variable name because it tells you it is a Boolean with “is” and that the Boolean tells you whether something is a turtle or not.
Also, depending on the language, I suggest either camelCase or snake_case naming of variables. PascalCase is usually for defining classes or in case of C#, methods.
Itt: people with Misophonia.
