I admit using a "m_" prefix on fields:
   private final double m_goodName;
   public Thing(double goodName) {
       m_goodName = goodName;
   }

I got into that habit in my early days of C++ with (gasp)
some Microsoft IDE.  I'm not completely following that 
style, though, as I typically don't use type-hints after
the underscore.

Sometimes I even do that, like when I think that goodName 
looks strange, but xGoodName looks much less strange. Also,
when there is a goodName for some item, but two different
representations for it, then I might do something roughly
like:

   private int m_iGoodName;
   private String m_sGoodName;
   public void setGoodName(int iGoodName) {
      m_iGoodName=iGoodName;
      m_sGoodName=""+iGoodName;
   }
   public void setGoodName(String sGoodName) {
      m_sGoodName=sGoodName;
      m_sGoodName=Integer.parseInt(sGoodName);
   }

I guess you now feel like asking what name (and type) I use
for the getter, but that's beyond the scope of the example.
