Default Airfield Ratings in Turnpoint list naming convention

I will be updating my local turnpoint list soon, I was wondering if someone has already worked out a system of turnpoint naming for landable places that might be short, narrow or somehow useful for some gliders but not 18m+ etc.

It would be nice to include fields or ultralight runways etc that you could use if you were desperate - better than landing in forest but still challenging for one or more reasons.

I thought of naming the landing points something like:
Iffy
Risk01
Unconfirmed01
Short02
Narrow01
Dodgy
Desperate01
Marginal
Dubious
Doubt
Dicey
Tricky
Alert
Warn

Seems like if you could use a short word that communicated a warning and a number to make it unique in case you had several in the list and or some rating.
Short is good because some displays truncate names to 6 characters on screen.
