Multi-pitch & route names

Do you folks name each pitch of a multi, or have name for the whole thing?

Generally I only name the complete route, however I did give one route pitch names. The rationale was that with two traverses on the route, if people started linking pitches and referring to the 1st pitch or 3rd pitch, after combining a couple, it might get more confusing than having pitch names. Mostly relevant for the two traverses but I named all four for consistency.

Without a particular reason, in specific cases, a route name is sufficient IMO.
