If I name it username then I would have to write user_username when referring to my field when I can just write user_name if it’s named “name”. On the other hand, username sounds more appropriate than name.
Can someone help me make a decision?
You should call it
username.The field
name(oruser_nameif you are prefixing all fields with the table name) is ambiguous because it might be their real name, which is usually different from their username.
