I used to have this problem, but now I go with one of two solutions:
- filename-$(date +%F) (or similar)
- example: notes-2024-12-14.txt
- filename-Mk#
- example: product-design-MkII (Or Mk2 if you prefer)
- filename-$(date +%F) (or similar)

Fun fact: I use "git bash shell" over windows' cmd just because of grep

I also like to use:

You know how to script and what a symlink is; why aren't you using git or any other kind of version control instead?

Because I formed these habits in the nineties and 00's, well before git was a thing; and because nothing I write matters, other than possibly to my employers, in which case I do use (primarily) git ... Or other version control. (Believe it or not, I've used subversion.)
Most of the documents to which I apply this are things like my resume and DNS server. No one but me will ever care.
Also, I like you both for asking this question and for how you put it.

I smash my open palm to my keyboard everytime I'm naming something.
In another news, I am currently looking for a job as my employer fired me for 'improper variable naming'.
