Apple’s Coding Guidelines for Cocoa has lots of advice along these lines.
In short, using a prefix for class and protocol names is encouraged, especially if you’re developing a framework. However, Apple already uses the MP prefix for its MediaPlayer framework on the iPhone, so you probably want to pick another.
