title: cakephp 2 name variable in model and controller
body: <p>Is it necessary to declare the name variable in models and controllers? Or just good practice? For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class User extends AppModel {
      public $name = 'User';
  }
  
  class UsersController extends AppController {
      public $name = 'Users';
  }
  </code></pre>
