Here is an example of what I was trying to ask: many-to-many join tables should be named: alphabetically_first_table_plural_alphabetically_second_table_plural ie: tags_users
So if my table is joining to 8 other tables, with the 8 foreign keys, how do I get the table name? Will it just be the first fk join table that I will put in the name and ignore the others?
