Roughly 5,000, as I recall (JDE was only tangentially related to my world). I think about 1,500 of those map to specific system objects. There's also various naming conventions for other objects; user-defined value lists have terse names like "UDC 98/SY" (which is, I think, the value list of value lists, or some such), batch routines have names like "R09430," and so on. It's all horribly brain-deadening, and the cognitive barrier to entry is extremely high. Evidently ORCL likes it that way.
