title: Is it safe to rename Django migrations file?
body: <p>Since Django 1.8 the <code>makemigrations</code> command has a <code>--name, -n</code> <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-option---name" rel="noreferrer">option</a> to specify custom name for the created migrations file. </p>
  
  <p>I'd like to know whether it's safe in older versions of Django to create the migrations file with the automatically generated name and then rename the file manually. It seems to work as expected. Are there any potential risks?</p>
