Tonehole Names ...

As specific notes issue from specific toneholes, they therefore should be named after the note or notes that issue directly from them.

That clears up any misunderstanding should you need tuning or voicing work done as the precise location is made clear instead of being vague.

The ONLY notes that don't speak from any toneholes on the body are the lowest notes of the lower and upper register that speak directly from the bell, unless of course there's a bell vent hole to bring low E up to pitch or a bell vent on alto, basset horn and bass clarinets for the lowest notes on them.

Attached is a photo of a clarinet with all the toneholes labelled accordingly with the lower and upper register notes that issue directly from them.
