SQL Server stored procedure naming We have started naming our stored procedures as [16_TestStoredProc]. Are there any implications naming a stored procedure like this? 

I am not going to explain why we are doing this. It is not that I have issues with this, but would to any implications.
There are no technical issues with this.

It isn't going to make any difference to SQL Server.

From a usability point of view identifier names that begin with a number must always be quoted so

exec some_schema.16_TestStoredProc


would not be valid and you must always use

exec some_schema.[16_TestStoredProc]


Also when viewing the stored procedures alphabetically sorted - e.g. in Object explorer this prefix may well not be helpful in trying to find a stored procedure and as they are ordered lexicographically it may be somewhat inconvenient that 18_TestStoredProc precedes 2_TestStoredProc.

Well perhaps you have good reasons. As you aren't going to share them it isn't possible for us to comment on them.
