A naming convention is a rule to follow as you decide what to name your identifiers e.g. class, package, variable, constant, method etc.

But, it is not forced to follow. So, it is known as convention not rule.

If name is combined with two words, second word will start with uppercase letter always e.g. actionPerformed(), firstName, ActionEvent, ActionListener etc.
