Rename Objects Tool

It would be nice to see something similar in a blender, to facilitate changing the name when there are many objects in a scene

In short, simply select an object, press a button to add suffix/prefix to its name.

I rename objects with Python. It always seemed to me that writing a script every single time to rename some objects is just ridiculous, and... yes it still might be, however it is only a few lines. A template can be saved in the startup file. It is a lot more flexible than the add-ons that do this. Writing 3 or 4 lines of Python for the exact result you need is sometime not that much more complex and inconvenient as using a complex add-on. I know it's not for everyone, but it seems to work for me better than having a dedicated add-on. I am surprised that I honestly consider this as an option at all, but it seems to me it is an option and it is not so bad.
