This side question bothers me: Has_This_Case_A_Name?

Here is what I could find, but This_Case_Is_Missing:

+---------------------------------------+---------------+
|                 Names                 |    Example    |
+---------------------------------------+---------------+
| camelCase, lowerCamelCase             | thisIsACat    |
| UpperCamelCase, PascalCase, BumpyCase | ThisIsACat    |
+---------------------------------------+---------------+
| kebab-case, spinal-case, lisp-case    | this-is-a-cat |
| COBOL-CASE                            | THIS-IS-A-CAT |
| Train-Case                            | This-Is-A-Cat |
+---------------------------------------+---------------+
| snake_case                            | this_is_a_cat |
| SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE, MACRO_CASE      | THIS_IS_A_CAT |
| ???                                   | This_Is_A_Cat |
+---------------------------------------+---------------+

    I've never heard of a name for the last case in 30 years of programming. But then I've also never heard of "snake case" or "train case".

    Since most of those names are made up and not actually used by a majority of programmers, feel free to make up another.

    Looking at the train case, you should call it the subway_case.

    @SteveChamaillard, it's more a big snake case, so Dragon_Case.

    Whilst you are at it, perhaps you could find/dream up a name for the unit test convention of using the form ForSomeSetup_WithATransaction_TheResultShouldBe, ie mixing _ with PascalCase.
