Re: problem naming controller

The CakePHP Book really is the ultimate source for this information.
The Conventions section explains everything you need:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/22/CakePHP-Conventions

Model Name: singular, camel cased
Model File Name: singular, underscored
Controller Name: plural, camel cased
Controller File Name: plural, underscored
Database Table Name: plural, underscored

Cheers.
