File names for copyright photos

Hi!
I am getting ready to register the copyright to my photos- I am not sure how to label them.
Should I use the name of the subject, such as "farm.jpg"?
Or should I number them sequentially, with my initials and a number, such as "JD1.jpg" "JD2.jpg" etc.
Or is it better to leave the original file name such as "dfc10023.jpg"?
How do you all label your files for registration?
Thanks!

here's my system:
I use an alphanumeric code starting with the date
20090222
then my initials
20090222_ajp
then a general topic
20090222_ajp_hollywood
then add additional sub-topics as needed
20090222_ajp_hollywood_street_OscarAwards
20090222_ajp_hollywood_street_OscarAwards_SeanPenn
starting with the date in that sequence makes for very easy indexing
