Use Smart Albums in iPhoto to erase default photo titles

I use iPhoto almost every day to import pictures from my camera, my iPhone, or my friends' cameras, but I usually forget to put a good name on the imported images -- so they import with those ugly titles such as P102453.jpg, IMG_1453.jpg, etc.
To partially solve this problem, I've created a Smart Album with the following conditions:
If [Any] of the following conditions are true:
- Title starts with P10
- Title starts with IMG...
- Title starts with DSCN
- Title starts with SANY
Note that different cameras will probably have different prefixes, so adjust as necessary.
Now, after importing my photos, I just open this Smart Album, select all the photos, then use Photos » Batch Change (Shift-Command-B), and set the title to empty text. No more ugly titles!
