+### `allow`
+
+This array option whitelists prefixes that titles can start with with capitals.
+This can be useful when writing tests for api endpoints, where you'd like to
+prefix with the HTTP method.
+
+By default, nothing is allowed (the equivalent of `{ "allow": [] }`).

+```js
+/* eslint jest/lowercase-name: ["error", { "allow": ["GET"] }] */
