>Out director has said that we must find another way to name our variables as he finds it difficult to read. Currently we use lcMyVariable to denote a local, character variable. He would like to use MyVariable_lc instead. We were also considering lc_MyVariable and one person thought that MyVariableLC was reasonable. Any thoughts? And if this has been covered already then just point the way please. I still would like to know what others think just about this specific example though. Thanks!

Renoir -
its a good naming convention. Why change it ? IF this is a NEW director then please get 'his take' on what 'he' is comfortable with.
I do find it completely ODD that a director-level person :
1. is reading code
2. has any involvement whatsoever with any codebase
3. Has decided to nitpick about it.
4. can't accept the current standard used in your shop.

Is this a recent hire? Again - what does he want ?

Perhaps you can let him know that its EASIER to perform metrics with your current naming convention. Most director-level types understand something about metrics and computing function points.

ps - I would strongly suggest leaving it as is.
