Subject pretty much says it all, I want to be able to give them more meaningful names and move them to my computer to free up some phone space!

Thanks to all for the quick replies, you guys are awesome!
I had assumed that they were files, but I see now each backup is a folder, and I'm guessing that each file in the folder is a different partition. Looks like the best way to get what I want is to create a folder in my saved backups folder for each backup with a sensible name/description, then have that contain the actual date-named folder.
Am I correct to assume:
1. If u click on properties of the BU file, u will see the date is was actually created and the size
2. Renaming original BU may cause MD5 snafu, so I would not rename it, just place in it a separate folder and name the folder.
3. It is Ok to move the original BU file to the PC and place it is a safe folder without renaming orig BU file.
Am I correct in assuming this???

All correct.
Been a while since I used CWM, but my memory is that it's putting spaces in filenames which messes up the md5. I always renamed mine, but coming from a Unix background I never use spaces in names. But not renaming at all is the safe way.
BTW a nandroid backup is, on any device I've used, a folder rather than a file (I never compress them - no point taking chances).
