I used to prefix my units and classes with MW.
At my job all internal library units start with CC (abbrev of our company
name).
The product I'm working on now starts with a K so all classes and units
belonging to it start with CCK. This product has some sub projects, Console,
Control and Config. So those units and classes start with CCKConsole,
CCKControl, CCKConfig (nad some 20 more). So in each of those projects I can
have a CCKClasses, CCKConsoleClasses, CCKControlClasses, CCKConfigClasses
unit without conflicts.
By looking at the name I know what the impact will be if I change something
in a class or unit.
I think most people do it... I do, but I use lowercase for the prefix.

Maybe prefix with MD ?
Yeah, for my personal contributions, some components, etc. I did that (and still do).

I do use descriptive names, of course. I also use a "Unit" or "U"
prefix; i. e.: "UnitConfiguration" or "UConfiguration". Also in some
projects use an unique prefix; i. e.: my Allegro.pas wrapper library
uses "al" as prefix, such as "al3d", "alfile", "albase", etc.
Okay Guillermo, thanks. The same as Marc above.
I use prefix "u" just only examples.

In the fpGUI project I now prefix all units with 'fpg_' and all
classes start with 'Tfpg' - I indeed ran into unit or class name
conflicts with FPC units. I suppose this is where languages like Java
resolved this via directory and file namespaces - though I am not a
fan of the directory namespace thing, but it seems to work for them.
The Pascal programmers has dislike "_" character, maybe just for constants, I think.

That's what I was talking about! I'd be surprised if this was not happening... even after the explanation of Marco van de Voort.

Yes, work for them... but the namespaces is very large in Java or C#. I like use, some times, the sintaxe: unit.function. Because of name conflicts of functions or prefix (also) the functions (besides classes), to not use name of unit as a prefix.
CONCLUSION:
I'm not a newbie programmer, even though my question says otherwise. I just like to know how the best programmers work in your daily. Some times I find some ideas to making my work better.
Thanks all.
