How do you name your spaces?

That's a rule for database tables :)

And it's wrong, well, at least when it comes to standards. The ISO standard says Pluralize.

Some pretty good reasons to singularize[^] :)

The Joint Technical Committee (ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 32) that develops the SQL Standard has specified that one should follow ISO/IEC_11179[^] for naming. Which states Singular for Columns and Plural for Tables. The point of following standards, even if you don't like the aesthetics, is (amongst others) to minimize ambiguity. The concept behind it is as simple as it gets. A row is singular. A collection of rows is plural. So reason one in your link is just conceptually wrong. Yes, an applebag can contain apples but you don't name the bag "Apple", you name it "Bag". The content that you search are Apples. But I guess that's why you see so many tables following the pattern "tblCustomer". X| And the rest is just opinions. As far as I'm concerned you can do as you want. But if you choose one way, you should stick to it. That's much more important

Let's say you're starting a new project and you pick your own name (or your company name) as default namespace, how would you do it? In my case: Sander.Rossel or SanderRossel? I'd go for SanderRossel as Sander.Rossel would imply I'd actually have Sander.SomethingElse, which clearly isn't the case. Judging from what I've seen the Sander.Rossel style is the more frequently used though. I've seen both methods and I was wondering which people prefer.

I worked for a company that did something similar. They also had code that carried over from the last company. What happened was the dev team split from the web team into two separate companies. So they kept all their code. They ended up with two namespaces. Not that you're going to clone yourself in this case, but I'm just pointing out it's possible you'd want to have Sander.SomethingElse later on.

Well, I have a good friend who's first name is also Sander. If we ever wrote software together we'd have Sander.Rossel and Sander.HisLastName or maybe Sander.JointForces ;p

Ain't that the truth, I 'know' it was made in 1975, and I watched it in 1975, but when you put it like that, It's another dimension!
