Is it OK to name a MySQL index the same as the column it indexes?

Is it considered bad form to give an index the same name as the column it is based on?

Like if you have a column named 'foo' and you want to create a normal index on it, would it be okay to name the index 'foo'? MySQL doesn't complain, but I am wondering what the pros and cons are.
