What naming convention do you use for a situation like this:

I would keep this as it is. Also it might be better asking in <#C4GKV43N2|codingconventions>

u then use the `this` keyword to access the property?

This class will only have one property called name. In Java terms, the name field after User is just a constructor parameter and not visible anywhere else. To demonstrate, rename it to inName and try to access it on a constructed User.

where it uses the constructor param and not the property

The `init` block is the constructor. So, in that case, you'd have to use `this`  and it would refer to the property, name, and not the 'constructor parameter' name.

Also, there is no way to move this initialization logic into the constructor right?

If you mean inside the parenthesis, then no. It's just for property and default definitions.

What you have will only occur at construction time, so it effectively is 'in the constructor'.
