Default Simple question, I have a switched +5V and a non switched one...

Trying to name two different +5V sources on a PCB.
One is switched, the other connected directly to VUSB (USB +5)
Trying to come up with a three letter name (maximum) for each.

+5V, +, VSw ... Suggestions?

Suggestion:

Vusb - usb +5
Vcc - switched power supply

Cared if I asked why you need 2 power supplies?

Use +5V for the switched power supply, and for the USB, "USB" has taken 3 characters... haha..
Can you put just a "V" with a USB logo?

If the switched 5V is feeding the ICs then Vdd is pretty universal. Maybe Vuu for the USB 5V line.....
A confusing one for the 5V USB would be 5uV

Do they need to be three letter animal names (grin)?

U5V (make a note on your manual this is USB +5V)
S5V (make a note on your manual this is Switched +5V)
