My personal preference is to use Create... for naming functions which 
return alloc/malloc memory, inline with the CoreFoundation memory 
management rules. I tend to use -(id)new... for methods, again for the 
same reason.

This ensures that your functions and methods follow the established 
API grammar and increases readability.
