I think people worry too much about branch names. Feature branches are usually ephemeral. Prefix your branch with your personal identifier so I know who is primary on it and worry more about the commit message which will live on indefinitely.

Commit message should be ephemeral too. Squashing after a PR should be the default. Only at that moment does the PR/Commit message matter.

Did you mean before the PR? Why would anyone have a review system if you change the code after review?

Hopefully the commits are already squashed and rebased before review to value reviewers' time.
