I rename every file

First my files are saved in a folder with the date (or date range) and the primary subject or location.

ie: 2015-06-23 - Bangkok

Second, all files for that shoot are renamed as (subject) - CCXXXXXX

Where

- Subject would be Bangkok

- CC is a one, two or three letter code for the camera used  N nikon, K kodak, GX1 for gx1, etc.

- XXXXXXX the camera incremental number padded to 6 digits with necessary adjustments for the 9999 rollover.

ie:  Bangkok - GH003654

Works for me, your mileage may vary.

The free Bulk Rename Utility is a very useful tool.
