Class Naming Conundrum

I am working on a personal project that works with databases, and in this project I have a set of classes that are similar, so they inherit from a common base class. The problem I am faced with is that I have this nagging feeling that the names of the classes that derive from the base class do not really reflect what they actually are.

What is the reason for using lowercase for the first word in a local variable (eg, employeeCount, firstName)

I take a good deal of criticism from other programmers due to my use of full proper casing for all my variables. For example, your typical programmer will use employeeCount for a variable name, but I use EmployeeCount. I use full proper casing for everything, be it a void method, return method, variable, property, or constant. I even follow this convention in Javascript. That last one really rustles people’s jimmies.
