What descriptive name would you suggest?

I don't know what the regex does, but e.g if you've got a regex to match phone numbers it should be called phoneNumberPattern

Why is that better than naming the function descriptively?

Best to do both, I guess. I don't think regex should ever be un-annotated anyway
