After using the advice below, which will hopefully allow you to see the

I believe Evidence Explained sets out some simple guidelines for naming

possible.
Because my research is almost entirely in this country (to this point), I do

Michael - naming your sources is for your benefit only in being able to find
them in the Master Source list when you want to use a source again. You need
to think about how you will go about looking for something in a list. I

Examples from my source list.
Geographically:

IMHO, since with sources, the Source List name doesn't
print much, and the Title does, I put abbreviations in
the SLN, and spell out in the Title.

Hi all
This is an interesting thread.
