EOS R5: Rename custom white balance images

This issue is probably not specific to the R5. I have several different images on my memory card I can use for setting a custom white balance. The issue is that it's not always obvious which image is for a particular white balance. If I rename an image to give it a descriptive name, then the camera can no longer see it (and so I can no longer use it for setting a custom white balance).

Possibly I can work around this by having the white balance written in very large text at the top or bottom of the image frame when creating the white balance images (so it will be readable in the image thumbnails).

But I would hope there is some other way of doing this based on just the image name, e.g. using a special format to the file name or some method of renaming the files in-camera?

Thanks

Dave

Or use Notes on your phone to keep track. Using specific images is not in the spirit of the way the function is supposed to work. Why not just set a white balance color temperature?
