GPG can use whatever filename you like. For example:
gpg --output szstt.asd --encrypt ....... etc.
Note that GPG does save the original ("mySecrets.txt" in your example) filename
inside the encrypted bundle. It does not, however, use it when decrypting
later. See the --use-embedded-filename option if you want to use that, but
read the caveats in the man page about that option.
