My original thought had been that we'd name them after American cities. West Coast, mid-West, East Coast for various styles, that sort of thing.
Never quite took. The H system at least gives a quick indication of size and accurately differentiates various common models. One particular issue is H4.5 for the 6' hexayurt, that's never sat right. The other approach would be to look at *roofs* and walls: there are only three roofs, and stretch variants, plus wall heights. That would describe everything accurately other than the C-yurt. More later!
