         - If you need to create your own standard name, the current proposal for creating standard names can be found here: https://github.com/ESCOMP/CCPPStandardNames/blob/main/StandardNamesRules.rst 
         - May need to consult with WRF / MPAS scientists and other SIMA groups to coordinate StandardName usage.
         - Keep a list of StandardNames that you introduce and give them to a CAM SE for incorporation into an upcoming CCPPStandardNames PR
+        - If you create your own name (for now), add `_TBD` to the end fo the name to signify that it has not been discussed yet
 !!! Warning "Updated standard names"
     If, in the course of your implementation or during code review to the CCPPStandardNames repository, the standard name changes, please update the name in the spreadsheet to reflect the change!
