What do you call a chord with a root note, a suspended 4, and an augmented 5? As an example, I have tried Asus4+5 but it looks odd. It plays about like a Dm/A but I wondered if there was a better name. Any input?

Context is important in harmony.
As you say, how do we know it’s not a Dmi?
That is, what key is the song in, and what chords precede and follow?

7b13sus4.
If the context doesn't affect it, which it probably won't.

If you want, say, exactly A D F, you should write it out. Not that hard to read and you get what you want.
If you have to communicate it with a chord symbol, it's Dm/A, for which you can get A D F or A F D (spread voicing). Or, knowing guitarists, you may get x 12 12 10 10 10. Or 557765. The notes of Dm with an A on the bottom.
I would not want to see anything else to specify the exact notes of a Dm triad with an A on the bottom. It would be confusing if I saw it on the fly.
If you make it a 7thsus or 13th chord, you get a G (and some other notes, depending on the exact chord symbol) which the OP didn't specify.Last edited by rpjazzguitar; 10-10-2021 at 02:17 PM.

The problem (at least one of them) with the OP is that it appears to assume that the bass note is the "root" note.
I guess we should tell Berklee to stop teaching all those closed and spread triads in every inversion, because they're all 13th chords?
