OK, but that just restates what I already wrote and doesn't address my
questions.  Yes, these suffixes are auto-generated. (I, too, initially called
them "prefixes" when I started writing my previous post -- it's a strange
tendency to say the latter in stead of the former :-))

and the above also works for me, as I said in the original post, and is not part
of the issue.
 
The issue is referring to the object AFTER it's created (via the above command),
by name.
 
Using  'mynewobjectname' with Blender.Object.Get(...) is what fails.
 
You have to include the suffix (it appears):
Blender.Object.Get('mynewobjectname.001'), in order to get the right reference.
 
My question was -- is that necessarily so, in all cases of object creation?  And
how can I ask python what the particular suffix is? I don't want to have to
"guess", algorithmically.
