Must not be "verb" or "Noun+verb".
These are "noun"-functions you can use on ArrayList, made by Sun(/Oracle):
size
hashCode
iterator
listIterator
subList
"Noun"-functions you can use on String:
hashCode
length
subSequence
substring
Not saying it's bad practise to use "verb", but you should rather have a short function-name that describes what it returns/does efficiently.

Methods should be UppercaseUppercase
Global constants should be UPPERCASE
That is highly dependent on the programming language you use. When you're using Java, this is wrong convention.
This is the standard Java-convention:
classes - TheClass
variables - theVariable
function - theFunction
static variables - THE_VARIABLE
static function - theFunction
final variable - THE_VARIABLE
