Identify Objects to Rename Prior to Adoption

Objects that you know are logically the same and have similar names, cannot be adopted until their names match, if matching names is a requirement for that object type.

If you do not know whether the two objects with similar names are logically the same, examine their respective definitions to determine whether they actually have the same meaning and are used for the same purpose. If so, rename one (or both) of the objects so that the names match, then perform adoption.
