I dont' save under new names as often as I probably should but what I've found helpful to keep a long list of savegames down a bit is to save under a new name just before entering a new map area (whether it's my first time there or my tenth, though if I'm just passing straight through I'll skip that step. Only if I'm staying there for awhile will I do a named save after the first time through) and then I use my quicksaves while exploring an area.
For multiple parties, I would suggest adding some mention of the party's name in the file name to keep straight which one is for which party.
