No, only ~/.emacs_bash. See this excerpt from the documentation:

    Emacs sends the new shell the contents of the file
`~/.emacs_SHELLNAME' as input, if it exists, where SHELLNAME is the
name of the file that the shell was loaded from.  For example, if you
use bash, the file sent to it is `~/.emacs_bash'.  If this file is not
found, Emacs tries to fallback on `~/.emacs.d/init_SHELLNAME.sh'.


> Why this?

For example to switch off effects in PROMPT or in (g)ls (coloured  
output, which a long time were not supported) or to create that file  
during startup of GNU Emacs before shell is invoked to set particular  
(environment) variables.
