  Use Naming Conventions: Implement a consistent naming convention for your objects to avoid future conflicts. This can include prefixes or suffixes that indicate the type of object (e.g., "fld_Customer" for fields).
  
  
  Review Object Types: Ensure that you are aware of the types of objects you are working with and their naming requirements. Different object types may have different rules or restrictions.
