Naming Photos

Hi all, don’t know if this subject has come up before but when it comes to naming my photos I get a writers block. I do a lot of water photos. Any help or suggestions please.

If D3904 2D is the name a file of mine has, that means I kept the original
serial number of the file (3904). The first letter says the 10K multiplier of
that serial number and the 2D here says with that camera it was taken
and the last letter says by who it was taken.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Name it something that has to do with the photo. Water under the bridge. Water of life. Hose me down. Beneath the briny sea  My cup runneth over, you get the idea Then use common terms or phrases, words or titles from songs, books, famous people phrases, tv or movie quotes, the vernacular of your area or group. Sure some people won't get it but they may ask you to explain which is always good.
