CI is fairly flexible in its naming. You will have to be careful on the cases when writing libraries and controllers, but most of it is insensitive. There are very few variables for you to worry about, but think what you are doing when you chose model or constructer properties.
For example if you call a class property validation or load it will clash with the classes Validation and Load. That is the only real conflict you will find.
Oh and dont name a page "view" in PHP4. ^_^

Classes have a first uppercase character and lowercase for the rest of the word. For methods/filenames the words/parts are split with an underscore and they are all lowercase. I think that's about it for naming conventions.

We have been getting into the method of using underscores '_' between words in functions and camelCase for variable names after someones recommendation in here.

If you look on the bottom of the controllers page you'll find a list of reserved words. Other then that, you're pretty free to make any choices you want.
