Description
Currently rules for fields etc enforce starting with a small letter. This feels unnatural for abbreviations, e.g. we had a fan enum value ECGTrace but that gives
the symbol name 'ECGTrace' must be camelCased matching the format ^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]{0,63}$
forcing us to use ecgTrace. Not a major thing, but does feel strange.

Research direction
Find the validation rule that produces the quoted camelCase error and inspect any tests covering symbol-name formats. Determine how abbreviation-leading names such as ECGTrace should be handled, then update the validation and its tests so the intended abbreviation case is accepted without losing the existing naming constraints.
