Namespaces and naming

Question

I'm having some trouble working this one out, probably more than I should. This is a pretty large project, with a very clearly defined structure, with no obvious problems, but I can't seem to figure out the optimal solution for this case, even after reading several convention documents and such.

For example, given the following namespace:

\vendor\core\lib\view;

Obviously it refers to a "view" namespace...which technically also has a 'view' class in it:

\vendor\core\lib\view\view

This is clearly not ideal, but I can't come up with a better way to name these. Take for example the cache namespace:

\vendor\core\lib\cache;

Same deal, the cache class becomes confusing when inside this namespace:

\vendor\core\lib\cache\cache;

Should I just move these 'core' classes from their namespaces, and put them in the parent namespace?

\vendor\core\lib\cache (class)
\vendor\core\lib\cache\adapter\redis (class)

Or is there a better term to refer to these types of classes?

Pardon my circularity, it's a bit late and my head's not quite working in optimal condition.

By convention, class names should be uppercase and namespaces lowercase, so it's not "confusing" to do what you're doing:

use \vendor\core\lib\cache\Cache;
