Naming Practice for domain object named class

I'm using a ORM and ran across a database table named Class. I've been naming the domain objects the same as their table name. So is Class a valid name for this object? I know it will compile but it doesn't seem like a good practice.

The table is refering to a versioned C# class.

It'll compile, but personally I'd choose a different name to avoid any potential issues or confusion. Assuming you are talking about classes in the domain of education, maybe "Course" would be a good substitute?

Its not good practice, and personally I would not do it, it compiles because in c# class != Class (its case sensitive)

class and all variations of class should be considered reserved words.
