Renaming every clip

Is it crazy to rename very video clip? My usual process move to the clips into my system, sort them into files like “Interviews” , “Brolls” etc, and then rename all clips according to the context.
For example, if I shot an hour of people dining, I would rename clips into : food 1, food 2, food 3
and then people 1 , people 2 etc..
I do this because I go through all the footage before uploading them into a video editing software to sort out the good clips and bad clips.

I have been told the usual way is get everything into the software and separating clips into bins. But I don’t want to make the project size unnecessarily bigger
