## 17.3. Automatic Naming of Catalog Objects

When you add an object to a catalog, the object is automatically assigned a unique name. This name is constructed by combining a prefix with a unique number. The prefix comes from the `childObjectPrefix` type attribute in the catalog's type XML definition. For example, if the prefix for a catalog type is “`widget-`”, the objects in the catalog will be named “`widget-1`”, `widget-2`”, “`widget-3`”, and so on.
