  Check Object Names: Verify the names of both the source and target objects. Make sure that the target name is unique and does not match the source name.
  
  
  Rename the Target Object: If you are copying an object, provide a new name for the target object that is distinct from the source object.
  
  
  Use a Different Naming Convention: If you are following a specific naming convention, ensure that the new name adheres to that convention while still being unique.
  
  
  Re-attempt the Copy: After making the necessary changes to the target name, re-attempt the copy operation.
