Naming & overthinking

Hi, I'm curious how you name classes, functions, variables, etc. Sometimes I notice that this can get in the way of my speed because then I start to think too hard, even though hardly anyone sees the code. But I like an overview and a standard naming for a project. This is normally how I should do it, for example:


Database (users):

• userId
  
• userEmail
  
• userFirstName
  
• userLastName
  
• userLastSeen
  
• userCreatedAt
  
• userUpdatedAt
  

AuthController:

• logoutHandler
  
• loginHandler
  
• forgotPasswordForm / (or) authForgotPasswordForm
  

Arrays/variables etc.:

• $user = new User();
  
• $userInfo = $user->where('userEmail', $this->request->getVar('userEmail'))->first();
  
• return redirect()->route('forgotPasswordForm')
  
• $routes->get('forgot-password','AuthController::forgotPasswordForm',['as'=>'forgotPasswordForm']);
  

So I actually use the same namings in both the Controllers/Models and in views/HTML etc..

Is that useful or could I run into problems? This is clear for me because I know exactly where to go if a problem arises somewhere. I'm curious how you guys do this!

Models - UserModel

Classes - Users

Variables - userID - userName - etc;

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
