decibel

The standard abbreviations for decibels is "dB" (note the case!)

So, if I have a variable, holding (for instance) a maximum dB value, how best to name it?

maxDbValue
maxdBValue
maxDecibelValue
something else?

Each has disdvantages - #1 swaps the case of the unit, #2 doesn't clearly split max from dB, and #3 is verbose...

I think #1 feels best, but...???
