GameObjectUtility.EnsureUniqueNameForSibling

Switch to Manual
public static void EnsureUniqueNameForSibling (GameObject self);

Parameters

selfThe GameObject whose name you want to ensure is unique.

Description

You can use this method after parenting one GameObject to another to ensure the child GameObject has a unique name compared to its siblings in the hierarchy.

If the GameObject already has a unique name compared to its siblings, its name will remain unchanged. If the GameObject has the same name as one of its siblings, Unity will rename it to a unique name by using an incremental number after the GameObject’s current name. This is useful when trying to avoid duplicate naming.
