Assign unique name to objects when copying?

Is there a way to automatically assign a unique Object Name to a copy of an object when copying using the Alt+Drag gumball method? For instance if one is copying a cube called “Cube_A” is there a way to have the first copy renamed something along the lines of “Cube_A(1)” with subsequent copies receiving separate unique names? Alternately is there a way to select all objects in a Rhino file with the same name and run a script or other operation to achieve the same result of unique per-object names?

Looking to address a Vray to Vantage issue I’ve run into recently; I often duplicate Vray proxy meshes within a Rhino file by Alt+Drag to quickly populate a scene for rendering with Vray, but after I export the vrscene to Chaos Vantage objects that share a name are no longer selectable/editable/deletable requiring time consuming editing back in the Rhino file. Chaos knows that this is an issue with Vantage. Looking for a way to head off the problem in Rhino. Thoughts?

This might help

…Just a quick follow up. A friend of mine took a look at this question and wrote a script that is working great as far as I am concerned. He’s posted it to GitHub, here is a link if anyone else is interested.
