shared/exclusive lock where the shared work should only be done once?

Should an array name and index be used for naming JavaScript objects?
I was surprised that this works in JavaScript. My questions is, is this good practice?

contact[0] = {};
contact[0].name = "Peter Parker";
console.log(contact[0].name);

Is it bad naming convention to have a model named "model"?

I'm not sure if this is a subjective question so forgive me if it is.

How do you call a string that matches /^\w+$/?
Strings that match /^\w+$/ are quite common. For example many authentication systems use that pattern to validate usernames. I'm wondering if a term exists that identifies this kind of strings.
