Naming and storage directory are part of the same problem (and solution)
The code is prepared to have different naming schemes. I did not think of
renaming and moving the original, but inspecting the code it seems there is no
obstacle.
Initially, I had plans to allow scripts providing a custom naming scheme. It
appeared that the relevant parts were a bit more complex than expected, so I
prefer to have a closed set of options, possibly with some configuration.
There is a long discussion in some bug reports about naming schemes, without
any conclusive suggestions.
