I think the break *should* start at F#. What's the lowest "real" note on the trumpet (ignoring pedal tones)? F# below the staff. Why not call that "low F sharp"? Well then, what about first space F#? Why not call it "middle F sharp"? Hmmm. That would make top-line F# "high F sharp," and then the F# above high C would be...
I stick to naming the C's ("low C," "tuning C," "high C," double-high C," etc.), and then naming all other notes in relation to them. I have no idea what a "double G" is, but I do know what a "G above high C" is.
