What do you do if you have UserID used in a table twice? Such as maybe if you had the need to track the user who did the original record creation and who the last user to update the record was?
I tend to prefix these "link tables" with LKP_ and I got into the habbit because they were tend to be used for "looking up" related data. Probably not the best of naming conventions but just the one I use and have stuck with.
