Using template generates projects with extra underscore.

• .NET SDK Version:
  7.0.101
  Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run the command: dotnet new clean-arch -n DotnetConf.2022Edition
2. Try to open in Visual Studio or Rider shows loading errors.

I checked the solution file, and all the projects paths show DotnetConf._2022Edition, which is ok since the namespaces should not start with a number, but the whole solution is not working correctly because the solution file does not have that extra underscore.

dotnet new clean-arch -n DotnetConfDemo fixes

Thanks David. I just wanted to show that the year on the name of project can produce a bad name for the solution and projects.

Yeah, confirmed:

Probably because "2022..." isn't a valid name in C# so it makes it one by adding the "_" prefix but apparently not in a consistent manner. Not sure if this used to work or not, but we should either fix it or document it.

Hi @ardalis! I'd like to work on this issue regarding the inconsistent underscore in template-generated project names.

This will be my first contribution to the project. I'll investigate why the solution file doesn't get the underscore when project names do, and fix the inconsistency.

Please assign this issue to me.
