A simple Blender Add-on to rename the selected object as well as batch rename selected objects in 3d View.
Once the Add-on is enabled, you can press CtrlR to enter a 'new name' for the active object as well as rename its data block (optional). In order to speed up the process you can hit Return followed by O to confirm, after typing the 'new name':
The Add-on also allows to batch rename all objects in the current selection. The suffix is determined by the given number of hash characters at the end of the string. You can simply type Cube-### to get 'Cube-001', 'Cube-002' and 'Cube-003' as well as Cube-###r to get a reversed list.
