Issue renaming an object

[dlmartin1]

Hello everyone, 

I'm having trouble with the naming conventions in the outliner and this is something that I've not encountered before and I've already tried all the usual solutions. I've shut down the program entirely and deleted both history and non deformer history and it still has an incremental number after the naming convention. I've also reset my preferences folder and tried that as well. 

Ex: SM_Armor_Low1453

I would greatly appreciate any sort of assistance.

There should be something with the same name in the scene so it gives an number. It's not must to be in outliner, it may be a material, a DG node or something. You can use suffixs to prevent this, for example: "_geo" for polygon objects, "_mat" for materials.

try 'optimize scene size' to clear up nodes with the same name.
