  Check Existing Objects: Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if an object with the same name already exists. If it does, consider using that object or modifying it instead of creating a new one.
  Follow Naming Conventions: Ensure that the name follows the SAP naming conventions:
  
  For programs, it should typically start with 'Z' or 'Y' for custom developments.
  It should not exceed the character limit (usually 30 characters).
  Avoid special characters and spaces.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the naming conventions or reserved names, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or development team.
