Vivado synthesis supports Verilog case sensitivity despite the potential of name collision.

Because Verilog is case-sensitive, the names of modules, instances, and signals can theoretically be made unique by changing capitalization.

°Vivado synthesis can synthesize a design in which instance and signal names differ only by capitalization.

°Vivado synthesis errors out when module names differ only by capitalization.

Do not rely on capitalization alone to make object names unique. Capitalization alone can cause problems in mixed language projects.
