Column A    Column B
x = 128
Y = 145

You could use paste or sprintf

 names(df1) <- paste0(names(df1), ' (N=', c(x,Y), ')')
 names(df1)
 #[1] "Column A (N=128)" "Column B (N=145)"

It may be better to keep it in a single line instead of multi-line column names. For printing, we can use cat

  cat(paste0(names(df1), '\n (N=', c(x,Y), ')\n'))

data

df1 <- data.frame("Column A" =1:5, "Column B"= 6:10, check.names=FALSE)
x <- 128
Y <- 145
