I don't agree in general with these examples you both have shown right on here.

It is clean if you take a look at the official Laravel documentation, especially in the Eloquent's relationship session (http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/eloquent#relationships).

Table names should be in plural, i.e. 'users' table for User model.

And column names don't need to be in Camel Case, but Snake Case. See it is already answered: Database/model field-name convention in Laravel?

It is too usual you can see it is like the RedBeanORM: the Snake Case for columns, even if you try other one. And it is adviced to avoid repeating the table names with column ones due to the method you can call from the Model object to access their relationships.
