Of course. If the project is of any appreciable size, the team should sit down before doing design and agree on some convention. If the organization has had prior projects, then there may be conventions already in place that are suitable or maybe suitable with modifications based on experience. Try to have something that makes sense and has some general agreement and isn't too restrictive. Then stick with it. Its always a lot easier to come onto a project at a later point and read code all over the place that is reasonably consistent in style. You pick up the flavor of the project and can then more easily understand what everyone was doing. The real enemy is confusion. If the project uses _Type, keep uising _Type because otherwise someone is going to see Some_Identifier and presume it isn't a type.
