Some time ago, I decided to rename each photo to 
yyyymmdd_hhmmssNN_additional_information.xyz

For digital photos I take the information form the metadata. With 
scanned photos I choose them based on what I know about the photos.

That way each photo has a unique name unless one works with two cameras 
at exactly the same time and I have a "natural" sorting order in my 
folders. Metadata can be added later if necessary.
