There are no standards AFAIK and you will never get everybody to agree a 
“standard” naming convention, I have my own scheme though:

Entry Parameters to Methods are prefixed the “the”, local Variables are 
prefixed “my”, properties are prefixed “p”, Ivar’s “m”, constants “k” and I 
always try to give some clue as to the type of the data in the variables, e.g. 
myNameDict, myAddresssAddress, etc.

Cheers
Dave
