When you right-click on the Maps folder in Catalog and choose a new map, it creates the map and automatically gives it the name "Map". To rename, you have to right-click and choose rename. Adding the function to name the map upon initial creation would be an enhancement.

When inserting a new map/scene, it would be beneficial if ArcPro would automatically prompt the user with the option to name the map/scene. Currently, you have to go into the map/scene properties to change the name, and it gets old. The user's efficency would improve, and as a result their experience would also improve by way of less clicks. You can afford users  - that are reluctant to change - the option of maintaining the current process so that it doesn't become a hinderence to their disorganization.

This would be so helpful.  Which map was I just working on.  Hmm I have by default Map, Map1, Map2, Map3... yes, I can rename them, it would be so much better to just name the map when it's being created.

I don't call my layers: Layer, Layer1, Layer2, Layer3, etc
