Well not 'anywhere' in the field name, just at the end with the leading underscore as you showed with your examples. But thinks like "dateThis" or "date_that" or even "some_date_foobar" would be just fine. But if the fieldname ends in "_date" or any of several other validator options they receive special attention from the cold fusion processor.
