It really isn't the way things are done. $F$, $m$, and $a$ are things that can be measured. $F = ma$ is a relationship between those measured values.
You might have a collection of bodies that all exert forces on each other. You might name them object 1, object 2, etc. One example is each object is an atom in a block.
Newton's laws tell us that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This means that if object 3 exerts a force on object 7, object 7 also exerts a force of equal strength and opposite direction on object 3. We might represent this with notation like $F_{3,7} for the force on object 3 from object 7.
$$F_{3,7} = -F_{7,3}$$
or more generally
$$F_{n,m} = -F_{m,n}$$
