What kind of naming convention is appropriate for ViewModel classes?
Example: for HomeController, Index view? HomeIndexViewModel doesn't seem right.

Naming Conventions for Name of a Type“ViewModel” is simply added to a “Page”-suffixed name to yield the name of its ViewModel. However, only “Model” is added to a “View”-suffixed name to yield the name of its companion ViewModel.
ViewModel is a class that is responsible for preparing and managing the data for an Activity or a Fragment . It also handles the communication of the Activity / Fragment with the rest of the application (e.g. calling the business logic classes).
I use the following pattern because it's clear and unambiguous :

EmployeesViewData.
That's what I use and what I've seen in sample applications as well.
About your added example: Imho the name of the class should specify what kind of data it contains. "....IndexViewData" is rather meaningless. What exactly is displayed on that page? Try to summarize it in 1 or 2 word(s) and add 'ViewData' behind it.
Or else just take the name of the controller and drop the "index". HomeViewData sounds fine to me.
