Yes, this is the most common method to give names for links.
Can be even automated :)

I believe that at some place in WIKI, there are words that

Recommended way is:

    PersonPtr   -- as a field name of ObjectPtr.

        link name for the same field can be as Bart points.


In OpenBase I have see their GUI tools on default suggest names as


               toPerson
    Person                  Phone
               toPhone


But I think such names can easy go to conflict if you have other linked
tables around.
