standardized naming system ?

Hello list,

is there a common naming system for db objects ?

Like:

1) Tables: mytable, tblmytable, tbl_mytable

2) Indices: idx_anindex

3) Columns: int_somenumber, date_lastupdate

4) id for the numerical primary key e.g. table customers.id
and then for referencing foreign keys
table addresses : addresses.customer_id or addresses.customer_fk

OK, I know I could name them the way I want but perhaps there is some
kind of common sense in this regard ?
.... A.
