If you care about being able to understand the file names after you've
generated them, you might use a format other than 020206143260.zip,
perhaps something like 2006-02-02-143260.zip; using MMMM-DD-YY also
has the advantage that it sorts nicely in a directory listing.

Using ISO standard YYYY-MM-DD sorts much better. :-) I have yet
to find a year with 9999 months.
