There are many such systems, and not being a musicologist I have no recommendation. The ones I see most recetly use apostrophes C'', C', C, c, c', c'' and so on. Pick your favorite.

I was merely noting that at the time the tuba designations first appeared, it was lined up with the octave notation in use then (or at least the favorite of the guy who first wrote down "BBb").

It is important to remember that the instruments define the words, and the words describe the instrument. Clarity is all that matters.
