Naming database columns and form inputs

Thanks. 
following these conventions leads to a conflict with CI4 entities. 
Say I have a database with a field name called "some_category" 
Say I then instantiate an entity representing a row from this table and call it $myEntity. 
To refer to some_category I will need to call:

Code:

$myEntity->some_category

This contravenes the standard I see (but haven't found written down) that property names must  be in camelCase.

Are we ok with this conflict?
