Is it a good naming convention?

If your database engine permits numbers, I see no reason not to use them. However, given your example of
tbl_love143, does this mean you have 142 other ‘love’ tables? if so, there is something seriously wrong with your database design!In summary, numbers are fine, but having multiple tables that store the same ‘type’ of information is not.
