I agree it is ugly. I said this same thing myself many times.

see one example

http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Ada/comp.lang.ada/2012-08/msg00219.html

"I like underscore in names of variables. But I do not like
at all the current Ada tradition of using Upper case for
first letter as in

        This_Is_An_Identifier

I find this ugly and hard on the eye to read. I like
all lower case for variable names, as it is easier to read. Less
variation in texture and form

this_is_an_identifier"

So, I am not the only one then who thinks this Ada naming style
is ugly ;)
