Is it possible to change the default image name to ether null instead of the images file name while Adding a image? |

You mean the name of the file on disk? Or the title that we assign to the image when we display it in the web page? If we name all the files the same thing you'll have a problem

I mean the images name not the file name, currently in G2 you may set the "title" to blank.

G3 has a file name, a title and a description. We're currently using the file name in the url, but I'm thinking about changing it to use the title in the url soon. I'm still a little confused about what you want. Can you back up and explain the big picture here? Thanks.

Can I suggest a little bit different approach here? If you are to use title, then any changes to it would change URL and any external references would be broken.
Could you consider approach used in WordPress:
* default URL build off the title
* any further changes to the title do not affect this URL
* author still able to go and adjust the URL later if needed

@Serge: Wordpress has a simpler problem than we do because it's not using hierarchical urls. So I assume that when you say "any further changes to the title do not affect this URL" you mean just the trailing part of the url that was generated by the title, right?
So the scenario there is:
* you're in albums Family > Weddings > 2009
* you create photo "Cake.jpg"
* we make the title "Cake"
* we make the url "Family/Weddings/2009/Cake"
* You come back later and rename the year from 2009 to 2008
* the url is now "Family/Weddings/2008/Cake"
* You come back later and retitle the photo from "Cake" to "CakeWithWhiteIcing"
* the url stays at "Family/Weddings/2008/Cake"
Does that sound about right? We can offer a way to change the url later, too. I think this is relatively easy to implement.

Exactly!!!
When I mentioned WP, I meant their approach with trailing URLs for posts and you have put it nicely
I think this scenario would work great.
There could be an option to keep title in sync with url (checkbox next to "name/URL" to specify if custom name is allowed?)

I've filed http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/490 for this and have started a discussion on gallery-devel about it.

Wow that looks good, but my original question was more about the title as shown on the page. right now if I upload a folder to the gallery, all the images have the title of img_0123.jpg I would rather not name the images on the page. I understand that you need a URL, that can stay the name of the file (img_0123.jpg) but is or will it be possible to not auto add the file name to the Title in G3 as you can in G2?

Ah, I understand now. Would you please file a feature request for that?
