Shell Script Naming Conventions

I'm working on a set of shell scripts at work to aid in deploying projects to our dev server and a test environment, as well as update a network database with information about the releases… and I'm having naming issues.

Assuming you're the shell-scripting type – how do you name your shell scripts, assuming they should be somewhat descriptive names, but can be easily called from a command line?
