==Examples== Examples of naming conventions may include: * Children's names may be alphabetical by birth order. In some Asian cultures, siblings commonly share part of their [[given name]]s. In many cultures the first son is usually named after the father or grandfather.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/jewish.html|title=Jewish Naming Convention in Angevin England.Eleazar ha-Levi}}</ref> In other cultures, the name may include the place of residence.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.naha.stolaf.edu/naming.htm|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20050310131321/http://www.naha.stolaf.edu/naming.htm|title= Norwegian Naming Convention|archive-date= 10 March 2005|work= stolaf.edu}}</ref> [[Roman naming convention]] denotes social rank. * Developers of database schemas, program-name terminology and ontologies may apply a common set of labeling conventions for naming representational entities in their representational artefacts, i.e. conventions outlined or endorsed by terminology-regulatory bodies or by policy providers such as ISO or the [[OBO Foundry]]. * The names of universities can commemorate founders, patrons or relevant monarchs: note for example [[Lomonosov Moscow State University]], [[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich]], [[Victoria University of Wellington]], or [[Johns Hopkins University]]. A Latinate version confers extra class β note ''Alma Mater Rudolphina'' for the [[University of Vienna]] or ''Universitas Complutensis'' for the [[Complutense University of Madrid]]. * Large corporate, university, or government campuses may name rooms within their buildings to help orient tenants and visitors. * Products. [[Automobile]]s typically have a binomial name, a "make" (manufacturer) and a "model", in addition to a model year. Computers, and computer programs, often have increasing numbers in their names to signify the successive generations. * School courses: an abbreviation for the subject area and then a number ordered by increasing level of difficulty. * Shipping lines often use a distinct naming convention to make their ships more recognisable and their names easier to remember. * Virtually all organizations that assign names or numbers follow some convention in generating these identifiers (e.g. [[phone number]]s, [[bank account]]s, government IDs, [[credit cards]], etc.).
