Apps naming conventions? (Singular vs Plural)

Since there's no right or wrong for this.
I'm curious to know about the naming approach experts have considered for naming apps/tables.

At my workplace about 8 years ago, our team lead had a strict rule for using Singular table names. I kept that practice until I realized many of my clients prefer the plural naming (feels more natural)

A Client/Clients app has many records representing a client each, therefore naming the app as "clients" makes more sense, however using the dot notation in formulas for example [client].name makes more sense than having [clients].name as you refer to a single client name.

What's your favored approach here?
