The ":command" command only allows you to create names that start with
a capital letter. You cannot, therefore, either by accident or
intentionally, overwrite a built-in Vim command (with a couple of
excetpions...":Next" and ":Print" are built-in). You may accidentally
override a plugin command however.

There is no naming convention that I am aware of. I find the easiest
way to check whether an existing command, mapping, etc. exists is to
check if there are any help entries for it.

The :help entries certainly have a naming convention. See ":help help-
context" for the conventions used. For an example, :help c_CTRL-D will
give you the help entry for the CTRL-D key combination in command-line
mode.
