Naming Conventions for Microsoft Fabric objects/artifacts for Governance in the Fabric environment

Is there a standard naming convention for creating Microsoft Fabric objects/ artifacts. This is necessary in setting up Governance in the Fabric environment.

 

I am from a developer background, and naming conventions were used in coding, and it makes it easy to identify and read the objects and their relationships.

 

For example in Fabric.

To use uppercase or lowercase, full name, or abreviations, add unique sequentional numbers, identifer at the start or end of the name eg

Team+fabricObject+number 

eg

finance_ws

ws_finance

 

finance_lakehouse_001 

finance_lh001

finance_lh_001

finance_lh

lh_finance_001

 

..etc

 

i found the following articles 

uses UPPERCASE and the names are quite long
