I started naming the releases with the Late September 2013 Release - 2.6.2/2.8.1b - Confusion to the Enemies release.

Kobo stupidly started to name the release file for the various devices the same, which makes it easier to sideload the wrong firmware for your device.

Since then, I've been naming the releases based on either a feature of the release, or some action that Kobo took (the 127 Hours release was pulled very quickly), or even the season.

3.8.0 is The Charge of the Light Brigade release because of the new light adjustment feature.

Before I started to name the releases, the tag line for the release generally had a major feature of the release.
