    Hi Avnish,

    A These are Naming Rules in Salesforce Lightning
    • Must begin with a letter
    • Must contain only alphanumeric or underscore characters
    • Must be unique in the namespace
    • Can’t include whitespace
    • Can’t end with an underscore
    • Can’t contain two consecutive underscores

    thanks

    Hi,

    To add more -

    I prefer using a Application name as prefix and follow the component specification .Lets say my application name is "Chat" .Then i would name my components as below

    "chatcmp.cmp"

    "chatcontroller.js"

    "chatHelper.js"

    "chatevent.evt"

    "chatSVG.SVG"

    Naming convention should be based on component functionality to make it easier to locate the components .

    Hope this helps.
