Cheers

No, there is no standard for board edge connectors, but I would name them after their purpose. Example: PCIE64BIT

We don't tend to use specific industry standard edge connector schemes such as PCI, PCIE.
For our edge connectors I use:
EDGECON<PITCH>_<FINGERWIDTH X FINGERLENGTH>_<NUMBER-OF-SIDES>X<NUMBER-OF-WAYS>
E.g.
Pitch 2.54 mm, 1.27 mm x 7.50 mm finger, one side only, 10 ways.
EDGECON254_127X750_1X10
Pitch 2.54 mm, 1.27 mm x 7.50 mm finger, two sides, 15 ways.
EDGECON254_127X750_2X15
We use this style of edge connector where we have slots in one board and and edge connector in another and solder the two boards together at right-angles.
