Bothered by an unknown letter case name

Question

This side question bothers me: Has_This_Case_A_Name?

Here is what I could find, but This_Case_Is_Missing:

+---------------------------------------+---------------+
|                 Names                 |    Example    |
+---------------------------------------+---------------+
| camelCase, lowerCamelCase             | thisIsACat    |
| UpperCamelCase, PascalCase, BumpyCase | ThisIsACat    |
+---------------------------------------+---------------+
| kebab-case, spinal-case, lisp-case    | this-is-a-cat |
| COBOL-CASE                            | THIS-IS-A-CAT |
| Train-Case                            | This-Is-A-Cat |
+---------------------------------------+---------------+
| snake_case                            | this_is_a_cat |
| SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE, MACRO_CASE      | THIS_IS_A_CAT |
| ???                                   | This_Is_A_Cat |
+---------------------------------------+---------------+

I've never heard of a name for the last case in 30 years of programming. But then I've also never heard of "snake case" or "train case". — Kilian Foth, Jun 16 '16 at 08:28
Since most of those names are made up and not actually used by a majority of programmers, feel free to make up another. — RemcoGerlich, Jun 16 '16 at 08:31
Looking at the train case, you should call it the subway_case. — Steve Chamaillard, Jun 16 '16 at 08:34
@SteveChamaillard, it's more a big snake case, so Dragon_Case. — Peter Taylor, Jun 16 '16 at 08:49
Whilst you are at it, perhaps you could find/dream up a name for the unit test convention of using the form `ForSomeSetup_WithATransaction_TheResultShouldBe`, ie mixing `_` with PascalCase. — David Arno, Jun 16 '16 at 09:34
The wikipedia reference for kebab case seems to be circular. I would say casing refers only to the casing of the letters, not the space replacement. So its Title Case with underscores — Ewan, Jun 16 '16 at 13:38

This case is used in the programming language ADA:

WikiWand - Naming Convention # ADA

This convention is known as Mixed_Case_With_Underscores or Ada_Case.
