No, the foreign key names do not *have* to be the same as the primary key names, but my convention is to keep them the same wherever possible.

What I am saying is that to avoid the problem you encountered the lookup array should have the same name as the field in which it will be displayed. So if the field is called 'fklocation_id' the lookup array should also be called 'fklocation_id' and not 'location_id'. The easiest way for the framework to associate a lookup array with a field is if they have the exact same name.
