Basically you follow Java Coding Convention except the following cases. You could choose to follow Java convention all the time, however, you code would look a little bit different than standard C# libraries.

1 Method names

Use upper case for each single word in a method name, for example: GetRockyName.

2 Property names

Use upper case for each single word in a method name, for example: RockyName.

private String rockyName = "";
public String RockyName
{
    get{ return this.rockyName;}
    set{ this.rockyName = value;}
}

Note that rockyName start with lower case r and the getter and setters start with an upper case R. Using upper case property name also makes it easier here to use this C# sugar.

3 Non-Property Variable Names

Use Java convention (or the so-called Camel convention, upper-case all words in the variable name except the first one).
