After some testing (writing then reading later), seems X and X2 is the  =

best. Others looks too long compared to a Prime sign added to a name, an=
d  =

I feel X_2 looks ugly compared to X2. Two primes can then be written X3,=
  =

three as X4 and so on.

That's personal feeling after dirty personal tests, comments about  =

readability and understandability are still welcome (whether or not I  =

agree with comments).
