As far as I know, there is no such functionality by default, but put
this in your init file to bind "C-c i f" to it:

(defun insert-buffer-file-name ()
  "Inserts the name of the file for the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (if buffer-file-name
      (insert (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name))
    (message "No file associated with buffer.")))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c i f") 'insert-buffer-file-name)

Hope that helps,
