I have heard various rumors that naming remote events with random I's and L's is good. From what I've heard, it's supposed to prevent exploiters. Is anyone able to comment on this or maybe point me in the right direction?

Is it good practice to name RemoteEvents or RemoteFunctions this? EX: "IllIlIlIIIlllIII"

No, not at all.
This practice is known as "security through obscurity" which is not true security. Not only will this backfire and make coding these a living hell, it doesn't prevent exploiters from actually finding the remote and firing/invoking it.
Exploiters can figure out what the remote does anyway based on arguments alone. Instead of obfuscating your remotes you should instead implement a better client <-> server model.
If your server checks are bulletproof then there is no harm in exploiters obtaining these remotes.
