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.
You are concise to a degree which I admire- as evidenced in the reply I posted before reading yours. As Ed McMahon would sya, "You are CORRECT sir!"

Besides, next to Wayne Bergeron and Eric Miyasashi, our notes range from ultra-low F# to "fair-to-middlin' C!
