Is it mandatory to deploy Interfix in the naming convention?

Hello,

Customer is insisting to get rid of interfix from the naming convention. 

For ex:

For Physical Product - with interfix - prd-82203134-00000380

But, they need it without interfix - prd-00000380

 

Any suggestions or guidelines? And what will be the pros and cons of it? Do we need to keep different interfixes for the various environment of the platform like Dev, test, acceptance, production?

 

Any suggestions shall be helpful.

 

Regards,

Sayoni Gotmare
