I like using $first_name.

I don't have any problems with using that convention for 
method/function/class names.

The only problem I have found (regardless of naming convention) is in 
using $_SESSION[]'s.

Sometimes:

$first_name = $_SESSION['first_name.'];

will cause problems. The solution is to use an index that's named 
different than the variable name, such as:

$first_name = $_SESSION['session_first_name.'];
