You might add: Create all relation names as plurals.
Or, if your site uses predominantly singular names, make that the
standard. Consistency within the site is more important than any
dogmatic belief about whether singular or plural forms is better. If
you don't put it in the standard, someone will eventually create tables
with names that don't gel with everything else.
