Not op, but what got me to name (fleeting) notes quickly is to name one main category/author, one subcategory (both limited to a single word) and just the date (year only for citations). Inspired by bibtex keys:

  Dist(24.07.29)Gaussian.md
  Dist(24.07.30)Poisson.md

  Transform(23_06_23)BoxMul.md
  Transform(23_06_24)Ranked.md

  Wilkinson(2012)Grammar.md
  Firth(1957)Words.md

Depending on your sorting preference, put the date first, second or last (I prefer sorting by main category, then date of entry, then subcategory). I use decimals instead of underscores but to each their own.
