Medium/long term, I agree and my personal preference would also be for a suffix instead of a prefix. But as there are existing users, a transition needs to be planned (and should not be part of this ticket). I suggest first phasing in views (using a suffix-based naming convention from day one) and making those the primary object used by data analysts; then, facts can be renamed much more easily in a later piece of work when fewer things depend on consistent naming.

Also, don't think that the naming convention you chose was somehow incorrect or broken. It is perfectly valid and has served its purpose well. As the project has evolved, we have simply identified a more appropriate alternative.
