Copy and paste between scenes without renaming nodes

"Maya should have a more friendly copy and paste: Right now it renames the nodes when you copy and paste objects from scene to scene.

I like creating objects in a scene and then pasting them into my "layout" scene.

Maya should only rename if there are conflicting names. "

Agree with this, do this all the time. I found the little script from this link here works great in the mean-time:

export .MA file of the selection. Import to your other scene with namespaces off, and set option to clashing names. I do this often.
