Look inside. Deep inside.

I would pick something simple and traditional. How about Frank?

You name your classes to be relevent to whatever it is that you need it to do.

If you are writing something to export data from your database to upload to a third party you probably don't want to name it "XmlWriter" you want to name it something relevant like "VendorExport" or something like that.

You should look into SOLID principles as well. You aught to build your classes in such a way that it has a single responsibility rather than 1 huge monolithic class that does everything under the sun.

When you create your file where you are making your code and you create the class, it will ask you to name your class.

If you are talking about what you put inside the code it would be something like:
public class Code

(or whatever you want to name it, i just used Code as an example.)

Stop!
Books and tutos are the easy way to learn Java or any other language, they introduce concepts in a timed fashion that ease the understanding, by skipping steps, you will put yourself in deep difficulties, and in the end you will spend more time than if learning correctly at first.

What you try to do is like building a house by starting with the roof.

Millions of people have learned programming before you and millions will follow, methods of teaching are known.
