It’d be great if the HUD panels were more consistent.
For example, why is it that the Take Rich Text panel does not allow us to give the note a name?

That’s a question for Eric & Annard 
If you are referring to the one in the Sorter, it’s quite simple: there may not be space. The first line of your note will be used as the title.
The Take Note panel has space for a title at all times, but even there it’s optional. The title will be the first line of the note if you don’t enter one.
OK.
I selected the text of your last posting. I pressed CMD + ) to take a rich note.
I get to select where it is going… inbox, or somewhere else.
But I don’t get to choose the name.
Is it likely that a note that begins with the words: “If you are referring to the one in the Sorter” will be much use in the future? No, I’d want to give it a title. But, to do that I have to switch to DTP, go to inbox, select the note and give it a new title there. This defeats, at least for me, the benefit of the take rich note function. I may as well copy and paste into the inbox, since I’m going to have to go directly there and give it a useful title before I forget what it’s about.
Not every note that I take begins with words that will help me find that note afterwards. I understand that DTP gives us many ways to locate material. But in some cases browsing a certain Group is the way to do it.
I was not referring to the Sorter at all. But I have tried that now, and I get the title Text Drop, which is marginally better, because at least it tells me that I haven’t given a title yet.
But the best system would be like the “Take Note” tool, where I can give a title before typing my note.

We also have a new note widget that may work the way you want it. Please give that a try as well.
This will be supported by the next beta.
