Just an idea (not tested), but why creating it with owner nil, and 
assign self later.

Just immediately after the create (or better within the create) assign 
it a new unique name (using a counter, or the address in memory). Then 
when the next instance is created it can be created again with the 
default name, as all others have already new names. (Only have to make 
sure that it's done thread save, if threads are in use)

If the default name is set via the property, setter-method, then it can 
be modified there too...
