What is the preferred naming convention for Func method parameters?

There are precedents for using a noun in the Framework, e.g. Enumerable.Average<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, decimal?> selector) Enumerable.Count<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, bool> predicate) Enumerable.GroupBy<TSource, TKey, TElement>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> keySelector, Func<TSource, TElement> elementSelector) ConcurrentDictionary<TKey,TValue>.GetOrAdd(TKey key, Func<TKey, TValue> valueFactory); The noun is often an appropriate verb with an agentive suffix.
