I've tended to make names consistent with the list of conventions collected in <http://community.schemewiki.org/?variable-naming-convention> (with 'plt-scheme' -> 'racket'). These are mostly echoed in the Racket style guide at <http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/Style/style/Textual_Matters.html#%28part._names%29> (though I think that '#:' is a syntactical constraint that denotes keywords, and not just a naming convention).
