need help with canon

[fai_dust]

I am trying to polish up a very late gift for a friend and I'm stuck on an Stargate Atlantis thing. (The problem isn't directly 'shipper or even Sheppard-related, but I promise the fic sort of is.)
 
The question: Is there a basic naming system for 'Gate teams on Atlantis? The SGC has it simple; SG-(#), but I've asked two friends, as well as gone over every potentialy relivent page on both gateworld.net and the SG Wikia site, and I still don't have an answer. And if there isn't a naming system in canon, is there a generally accepted on in the fandom?

(Sorry that this is my first post to the comm, but I don't have anywhere else to go. I can, however, promise that a very silly fic will follow.)

I generally see SGA-insert number here in fic, if that helps? And it's been a while since I saw SGA itself but I think a lot of the teams were referred to by the leader's name, as in "Colonel Sheppard's team" or "Major Lorne's team." It has been a while since I watched the show, though, so I'm happy to be corrected if I'm mistaken.

I see you got most excellent help here, but also, for the future, you can always call on the folks at sgacanon. There's also sg1canon and sgucanon, and all three comms would be thrilled to see some action.

It's not canon, but one of the producers once made a joke about about Sheppard's team being the First Atlantis Reconnaissance Team, and while I doubt anyone would ever use that name as is (given what the acronym would be), I know a few people ran with it by naming the Atlantis teams AR-1, AR-2, etc. So that's another option for you, if you don't want to use names.

I like to imagine that on Atlantis they use letters so Sheppard's team would be SG-A, Lorne's SG-B and so on, but that isn't cannon at all. It just seems fitting.
