Java: Method name conventions

This is more out of curiosity than anything else, just wondering what are the most common naming conventions for method names?

Start with a capital

GetName()

or start lowercase and then capitals for each new word 

getName()

or something else.

In Java, the naming convention for methods is getName()

Variables also follow the same naming convention as methods, for example. getNameExample

The naming convention used for classes capitalizes every word ex. GetName

In Java, the convention is to have the first word with a lower case, and the rest with upper case.

public void getName()

Also, constants are declared in full capitals:

public final int MAX_USERS
