NameCoin / NameId attempt to address this, though it might be overkill: https://namecoin.info/ https://nameid.org/?view=faq IPFS also has the Interplanetary Naming System: https://github.com/ipfs/examples/tree/master/examples/ipns https://ipfs.io/docs/ >* something else generated from some combo of >title/filename/hash/creator/etc. I do think name + hash, or at least hash final octet of some sort, would be a good in-between.
