Naming a Class after Extract Class

Question

I have some methods like
X getX(ABCMessage)
boolean isBlah(ABCMessage)
and more To avoid duplication I like to move the code into a new Class N with a constructor taking the ABCMessage.
The character of the methods is to get Information from the ABCMessage.
My Question is: What kind of class is it? And how should it be named?
I'm not really satisfied with "ABCMessageHelper", are there other generics than Helper, Getter, Wrapper?

Answer 1

thank you,
it is sometimes difficult to find good names where we are away from real world domains.
In this case I think the ABCMessage (the real name has instead of the ABC the main domain of the application) holds states, values and even conditional parameters. Every method is a helper to go into the ABCMessage and to respect some circumstances and configurations. Every method gives an answer to the operational objects (Handler) what is within the ABCMessage.
ABCMessageAccessor sounds like an Object that helps to get access to ABCMessage.
ABCMessageReader sounds like a factory class to construct an ABCMessage.
ABCMessageGetter like to get an ABCMessage.
ABCMessageWrapper similar to Proxy: wrong.
of interest are:
ABCMessageInspector
ABCMessageExplorer
ABCMessageInvestigator
ABCMessageInterrogator
ABCMessageInterviewer
ABCMessageCatcher
ABCMessageGrasp
Some difficilties may come from programming in english when not being native english speaker.
thanks
