Don't use reserved java words

Don't use spaces

Don't abbreviate

Don't use punctuation

Don't start the name with a number

Here are our project guidelines for naming properties:

Generally, don't abbreviate. The exceptions are SA, SP when the name would get too long if written as e.g. ServiceAgreement as part of a much longer field name

In line with the above, spell out amount and total

Boolean values (SW) are prefixed with is, has, can, are, or should, according to what is grammatically correct.

Date fields end with Date

Time fields end with Time

Datetime fields end with DateTime

Id is spelled Id

Don't include a final Flag (FLG) or Code (CD)

Use min instead of minimum, and max instead of maximum

Can be generic- that is, for the field BILL_​STATUS, you can just name it status
