What about outputing animation frames to an "archive file" of some
type (ie ZIP file)?  If you went this route, then there would only be
one file for all the frames, and its name would be easier to deal
with. The individual frames inside the archive could then have a pure
numerical sequence for their names. Something like 00000001.TGA could
be the first file name inside the archive, and 00000002.TGA could be
the second, and so on.

In case there is some objection to the compression of ZIP files,
remember that there is also provision for non-compressed ZIP files as
well. Of course, we could always use some other archive format. I just
mentioned this as an example case. If I'm not mistaken, DTA will work
with ZIP archives, for whatever that's worth.
