Why not introduce a form of standardisation for naming larger numbers than

those you mentioned by defining a conventional notation using the 'plex' from

'googolplex', for example:

skewplex = 10**skew

Grahamplex = 10**Graham

skewplexplex = skewplex**skewplex

skewplexplexplex = skewplex**skewplexplex ( = skewplex**(skewplex**skewplex) )

Grahamplexplex = Grahamplex**Grahamplex = 1 Gerard

Gerardplexplex = Gerardplex**Gerardplex = 1 Gerald

Geraldplexplex = Geraldplex**Geraldplex = 1 Geoffrey

etc. through proper names (alphabetical order would probably be more sensible),

thus systematically assigning names to the natural numbers as suggested.
