Or "diary.27-12-15.txt" - there's nothing sacred about
periods in Unix file names.

I'd prefer "diary.15-12-27.txt" instead; expressing dates
as year-month-day means that if you have several such files
for different dates, their names will sort into chronological
order.  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
