Use a name that describes the file and some main parameters.
For example, the title of a book, you may include 'Book - ' to make clear that this is the actual book and not a page about the book.
Date: If there is a date, start the file with it like this: '2015, May 13'. First the year, then the month in letters, then the day.
Location: Sometimes the location is important, for example for images, so you could include something like 'Paris' in the title.
Do not make the titles too long because that will give problems with storing the files on hard disks and also with making thumbnails of images.
Source: Suppose you made a pdf file of an article that you found in the New York Times. Then it's a good idea to include 'New York Times' in the title.
