Branch naming in TFS

Are there any best practices for branch naming in TFS? Currently if I'm branching from my Main to my Development folder I name the branch after the feature.

I'm not sure if this is a good way to do this or not, so was just after opinions and examples.

Have you taken a look at the guidance by the ALM Rangers on codeplex?

Basically, you can organize branches into three categories: Main, Development and Release. Main branch is branch from a parent with the latest changes, and Development and Release branch from Main. You can define your branch name like: ProjectName_Main, ProjectName_Dev, ProjectName_Release.

Also have a check on this MSDN article for defining branching and merging strategy: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb668955.aspx
