Get-User()

Use Verb-Noun pattern while naming a function.
Verb implies an action e.g. Get, Set, New, Read, Write and many more. See approved verbs.
Noun should be singular even if it acts on multiple items. Get-User() may return one or multiple users.
Use Pascal case for both Verb and Noun. E.g. Get-UserLogin()
