No, the quotas does not depend on the names of folders/files. The system 
   applies quotas according to the identifiers of file's owner user and 
owner group. The owner group may be not only the primary group of the 
user who created the file but also any of the groups (the user may 
change it to any of the groups he belongs to or the group could be 
inherited from the parent folder).
The file's owner group and user could be seen useinf the 'ls -l' command.
