Please never do that.

Think of how you would explain things to some external or new person. Compare:

"You need to tune Steve so Lily doesn't get stuck".

to

"You need to tune the data collection service so the object storage service doesn't get stuck".

For the exact same reason you should not call your identifiers in code "liz" or "bobo".

Name your things what they are!
