title: Do you name your arrays using plural or singular in PHP?
body: <p>When I'm naming array-type variables, I often am confronted with a dilemma:
  Do I name my array using plural or singular?</p>
  
  <p>For example, let's say I have an array of names:  In PHP I would say: <code>$names=array("Alice","Bobby","Charles");</code>  </p>
  
  <p>However, then lets say I want to reference a name in this array. For Bobby, I'd say: <code>$names[1]</code>. However, this seams counter-intuitive. I'd rather call Bobby <code>$name[1]</code>, because Bobby is only one name.</p>
  
  <p>So, you can see a slight discrepancy. Are there conventions for naming arrays?</p>
