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!

Blaker

    this post has gone unanswered long enough, huh?


    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
