When saving images from Facebook (or any other site), give the images names that make sense. Some sites autogenerate file names or change them as they are uploaded to the site by users.
Random names of random characters are difficult to understand.

Understand completely.
I do this, otherwise I have open it to see what and who the document is about.
I name the files (usually) but each time I do I might unintentionally change the file name just enough so like files don’t stay together. And by stay together I mean so that when I look for information on a ggg grandfather, those records will all line up together when I look for them. The file name that seems so obvious when I download it can sometimes become invisible weeks later when I look for it. Consistency is the key to file naming.

That’s right. Consistency, enough detail so the name isn’t cryptic, and a naming pattern that you’ll actually remember and use are key.
