When to use singular or plural names in C #?
+1 for the singular name. IMHO plural makes sense when writing the static class (this is a container with Tokens Foo, Bar, etc), whereas singular makes sense when using the static class (Do something with Token Foo). Because the 2nd case (using a token) should far outweigh the 1st case (defining tokens), singular is more appropriate.
