I remember what I call things
Which only works well if you're the one who names them. If you don't have control over the name- either because it's automatically named by whatever creates it or because you're collaborating with somebody else and they named it- then it can be hard.

True, which is why at work we use a revision-control system to collaborate on documents and we enforce naming guidelines.

Yes, I successfully have non-technical people trained to use Subversion rather than mailing around things like "Press Release Foo - Revision 2 (DFS-Rev-1)" I'd love to have them on git, but Subversion was a steep-enough learning curve. :)
