Wall type naming conventions

I would like to know if anyone is aware of a format for naming wall styles or wall types which would be in a similar format like the AIA layer guidelines is for naming layers. I would expect that there would be a set of letters / numbers that would tell the wall type or thickness, rating etc.
I thought that I would use this for naming multi line - line types that I use for walls. Just would like to know what other Architects have used.

Thanks
PJM

Here's my way. Some may find it a bit strange but there's a lot of logic that goes into it and with familiarity, you can read any walltype directly from the plans as the text string is just placed along the wall.

I'm going to go with "it's self explanatory" for now and if anyone wants to know more, just ask.
