Same Column names in different tables?

Its been a couple of years since my Intro to Relational DB by Cobb, but
I'm a little stumped.


A person at work today told me that I should never have duplicate
column/field names in different tables unless they are relationships.



Am I on the pipe to think this person is crazy.  There is only so many
ways to have a column called CITY or ZIPCODE.  Should I be putting the
tablename in front of it like CUSTOMER_CITY?



Any help would be appreciated.  We will be fighting about this for days.
