-        The type of object for which the name should be generated. (e.g. Label, Button, CheckBox...)
-    .PARAMETER name
-        The name or description to be used for the object. (invalid characters are removed)
-    .OUTPUTS
-        A string that can be used as a object/variable name in powershell.
-        For example: WPFLabelMicrosoftTools
-
