The fact it's a pointer is part of the type, not part of the variable name. So
int* pis the way.tbh I always think about it as 'p' is a pointer to int
therefore *p is an int
therefore I should call it int *p;
however, of course, you should use what your team prefers. Having good yet inconsistent style is worst than mid consistent style.
