If I do affix a name, I try to name a beer something that will give an indication as to its style and/or ingredients.
Usually I think I name beers so as to differentiate it from other batches of the same or similar style, for which I may have bottles or kegs still sitting around. Not always, though. My Master Exploder was given that name by a friend who asked me to make it, and I definitely don't have any other 12% ABV hop bombs sitting around.
