Is there a way to batch rename objects in a sequence similar to: object1, object2, object3...? Where 'object' would be any custom name?

I found the batch rename datablocks script and it was really helpful for renaming a group of objects but gives a sequence like: object.001, object.002, object.003

Is there any way to use this script to give the first kind of sequence?

Thanks poor! Looks like either that or the script below works well. Your link gives the option of connecting it with a hotkey which can be really nice too. – Animatoring 12 hours ago

import bpy

for i, obj in enumerate(bpy.context.selected_objects, 1):
    bpy.context.scene.objects.active = obj
    obj.name = "object" + str(i)

Just replace "object" with "your name" and run this in the text editor (make sure you have all objects selected that you want renamed).
