No way of naming your save games ?

Hello Community,

This might be a dumb question, but i cant figure out how to name my savegames... It basically just names em with loaction and time..
This would not be a problem if i only wanted to have 1 toon going at a time, but unfortunatly thats not how i would like to expiriance the world of Skyrim.
Paersonally i would like to have diffrent games going at the same time. One day i feel like Pounding my enemies with my 2h monster Heimdahl, while other night i feel like stealthing and assasinating everything in sight...
At the moment i have to scroll through all my savegames in order to find either my 2hander toon or my stealth toon.
Is there no way to name your savegames to find the toon of that night easier ??

On PC, you can bring up the console (with ~) and type "SAVE whatever" (without the quotation marks).
If the name contains spaces, you need to put the name in quotation marks, if I recall correctly...

If there's another way, I would also like to know...

Save game to a named save in double-quotes, ie save "My Skyrim Save" Note that this will overwrite an existing save of without prompting.

Ok thank you guys.
So to make sure i understand correctly, all i basically do is:

Bring up console.
Type: Save Heimdahl

And a save will be made named Heimdahl. Next time i type: Save Heimdahl the prevoius save of the same name will be overwritten.

Do i understand this correctly ?
