Nick,
I do not believe there is a written standard for naming gear ( or at least I have never seen one) Most naming scheme's are usually something arbitrary
RAS gave a pretty good tutorial on traceroutes once, specifically he covered the topic of interpreting DNS in a traceroute.
I know we are not talking about traceroutes or DNS here but hopefully this can give you a little insight into naming your equipment.
