I included a cover sheet that included my name and the program to which I was applying, just in case the grad school bureaucrats threw away the envelope and didn't know whose materials they were processing. I generally had my name+program printed on top of every page of every document I sent in (WS, SOP, CV...). And, in the case of transcripts, I also wrote my name on the (sealed) envelopes themselves.

Paranoia indeed. But better safe than sorry.
