I think they will be very unfamiliar to English speakers, and board size is already kept track of without using tags. In the Related menu, you can usually find a link to Games on Same Board.
While adding some tags here and there, I am thinking of tagging some more square boards and I need agreeable names for that tags.
Two are quite clear:
16x16 hexadecimal (from Greek)
20x20 vigesimal (from Latin)
But what about the other numbers 11, 13, 14, 15, and 18 (I leave out 17 and 19 just now, they are probably too odd)?
I'm thinking of
11x11 onzenal (from French)
13x13 treizenal (also from French)
14x14 quatorzenal (again from French)
15x15 femtenal (from the metric prefix "femto" 10^{-15}, ultimately from Danish 15)
18x18 attenal (from "atto" 10^{-18}, ultimately from Danish 18)
What do you think?

@Jörgen: I don't if there is a need or not but I like your proposed words. I didn't know that femto- and atto- prefixes are from Danish, nice to learn.
For 13, I think trezenal would be better. I've found it is used by people using base-13 computation. https://trezenal.fandom.com/wiki/Trezenal_Wiki
