You could probably make a new save command that uses applescript to pop 
up a save dialog with whatever name you want.  You can get the filename 
that the user selects with something like the following applescript:

     set theFilename to choose file name ¬
         with prompt "Save New Document As:" ¬
         default name "whatever_you_want_here"
         default location «some location alias»

Then just return the path from the applescript to the command, and have 
it save the current document out to that path.
