UserModel
User_Model
UserM
User_M
User_Mod
UserMod
Usermodel...

and so on.

What do you do?

I can't seem to decide on the best model naming convention, it'd be better if I could just use "User", but will run into class naming problems if I have a controller called "User".

This is pretty stupid, and it's just wasting time instead of actually getting work done, but that's the kind of day I'm having!

I usually name them 'mdl_xyz' (and for libs 'lib_xyz').

This gives me another advantage: I use Eclipse, and with it, I usually have open several scripts in several tabs. With the prefix, I can recognize the right tab I want to select much faster, it is also about readability.
