I tend to use the m_x naming convention, though I limit it to 
private member variables. Otherwise I stick to camelCase.

If it is a parameter that is just going to be assigned to a 
member variable and they would otherwise have the same name, I 
usually add a prefix to parameter name to differentiate the two. 
In constructors it is usually "the" and in setters it is usually 
"new." Something like:

this(string theTitle)
{
      title = theTitle;
}

void setTitle(string newTitle)
{
      title = newTitle;
}
