What is a good naming convention for date variables or properties in an Object-based, strongly typed language like C# (and by extension, for date database columns)? Do you use the word “date”?
I’m going to avoid an example with the canonical “created” or “updated” date/time properties, and instead pick another common example: assuming there is no technical, domain-specific, or user reason to avoid any of these names, what would you name a property that contains the date that an interval (a period of calendar time) started or will start?
StartDateStartedDateDateStartedDateStartDateOfStartStartedStartsStart
(This question could also be asked for date-time properties, presumably using “Time” instead of “Date”.)
