    Conventions aren’t set in stone, but it’s good to follow them.

    And yes, widely spread convention for attribute names is snake case.

    Snake case:

    punctuation is removed and spaces are replaced by single underscores. Normally the letters share the same case (either UPPER_CASE_EMBEDDED_UNDERSCORE or lower_case_embedded_underscore) but the case can be mixed.
