Avoid Using the Prefix "Collection" on Properties. Use Simple Names. Remove 'collection' from the name. Use plural names without the word 'collection.' When you prefix properties with terms like "collection," you introduce redundancy and verbosity into your code. This makes your code harder to read and maintain. Good design adds value faster than it adds cost.
