>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!

lc_var, var_lc - either one of those sounds workable to me. The more "standard" one is to have these indicators in front, since the rest of the var name is descriptive of the contents.
The trailing version without an underscore could get confusing, if LC (etc) needs to mean something for the varname, e.g., last customer log date = LCLDLD <s>
and what's the director doing reading code? does he develop? if not, then why he needs it to be readable to him doesn't make much sense...
