When renaming datablock, and the name already exists

Some datablock renamed with .001 the datablock.
Some others, sometimes, renamed all other datablock with suffixes, to let you choose the name with any suffixes.

This last case is bad/dangerous imho, as we are silently renaming some data without let it know to the user.
Here is how to reproduce (seems order of renaming and name choose are important):

On default scene, duplicate the cube.
The new cube is now selected, rename (in Property panel) to "Hello".
Select the initial cube, rename to "Hello".
No issue here, the cube renamed automatically to "Hello.001".
Still on initial cube you just renamed, rename it "Coucou".
Select the other cube, and rename "Coucou".
It does not renamed to "Coucou.001".
But select the other one, and it renamed silently to "Coucou.001".

See video attached.

Same happen with images, using bpy (detected in a glTF import process)

Edit: For images, run the following code (but be sure to link to existing image path, not provided here)

import bpy
blender_image1 = bpy.data.images.load('/tmp/test.png', check_existing=True)
blender_image1.name = "Image"
blender_image2 = bpy.data.images.load('/tmp/test2.png', check_existing=True)
blender_image2.name = "Image"
