It's all in a name

I am trying to figure out the best digital naming format for folders and files. I organize all my pics within folders by subject and then by year. For example:

D:
---> 2005
> Trip to Santa Barbara
> Trip to Santa Barbara - 001.jpg
> Trip to Santa Barbara - 002.jpg
> Trip to Santa Barbara - etc.jpg

This works okay for me, but I feel like I need a "better" naming/organization system. However, I'm not sure what "better" is I'm curious how others name and organize files.

    My method:

    2005
    ---Month
    Event
    view (if applicable)
    image #.

    Example:

    2005
    --January
    New Year's Picnic
    BBQ Team
    Races
    Dogs
    Formal Dinner
    Portraits
    Dogs
    New Car
    Inside
    Outside

    Peter, this isn't a hall of Fame entry, not yet at least! naughty.gif So I'm moving it to the catchily named "Theory, Technique and How To" forum.
