Instantiate a gameObject and give it a name

I would like to Instantiate a gameObject and give it a specific name in the hierarchy, because it gives by default "gameObject(clone)", but I would like to know if there is a way to make it name the spawned object just "gameObject" and not "gameObject(clone)". Thank you

You can assign the instantiate Prefab to a game object and then change the name of the game object.

Here is a sample code

my_spawned=Instantiate(prefab,transform.position,Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
my_spawned.name="Myobject";

You can create an extension method that clones an object and then sets the name of the clone to match the name of the original object.

using UnityEngine;

public static class ObjectExtensions
{
    public static TObject Instantiate<TObject>(this TObject original) where TObject : Object
    {
        TObject result = Object.Instantiate(original);
        result.name = original.name;
        return result;
    }
}

Usage:

GameObject clone = gameObject.Instantiate();
