How does one name their art? I don't want to be an edgy

Dangerous one liners from kids shows.

The simplest is a literal description of what's in the image.
Then you could go beyond what's visible and hint to an underlying theme of the image or something that's related to what inspired you to paint it in the first place.
You could also think about the scene and what could happen in it, maybe what characters could say and then take something from that.
You might use the title to elaborate on the image or explain it.

Your OP image might be named:
"Comfy winter night"
"Kid playing on his toaster"
"Why I love winter"
"Titled #678"

I like titles that are either the beginnings of sentences or the ends of sentences. "and she did fall" or "She stepped up" Something that implies there are things about the picture that are not necessarily apparent. Basically titles that describe an action, but don't go down the cliche route with cringy inspirational adjectives or whatever.

All in all though, the title should be thought of as a part of the piece itself, because titles carry a lot of meaning and can totally change how the image is perceived.

Usually a 1 or 2 word descriptor followed by a number. IE "tree1 tree2 tree3" and maybe something like 'treetumblr' for the resized file.

Most of my file organization is by folder rather than name. I order everything by month and start a new folder each month, then at the end of the year I make a folder for that year and put all the months inside it. Then each folder has a WIP folder inside it (though I might purge those soon, I never revisit them and they take a lot of space). Then one folder with copies of my favorites each month that I flip through sometimes to get an idea of my progress.

Well I wouldn't even bother naming sketchbook, still life and general study work. Just say what's in the picture, you're not out to impress anyone.

For imaginative pieces, I've always approached even the simplest illustrations with a story to tell. From the most fantastical to he most mundane, just a general idea of everything leading to that picture.

Keeping a story in mind while painting, you tend to have something your want to call it by the end. Just some notable element or theme. "Autumn Road and Spring Castle", "Odyssey through the Bar Room Tables", "Oprah's Soap Operas", you know just shit like that.
