What should I call a variable instantiated with some type of array?

Is it okay to simply use a pluralised form of the type being held?

IList<Person> people = new List<Person>();

or should I append something like 'List' to the name?

IList<Person> personList = new List<Person>();

Is it generally acceptable to have loops like this?

foreach(string item in items)
{ 
    //Do something 
}
