I quickly put together this which seems to preserver the orderof the original seq:

(defn uniquify [coll]
 (let [post-fn #(group-by first (-> % meta :encountered))]
  (loop [unique (with-meta [] {:encountered []})
        [f & more] coll]
(if (nil? f) (flatten (concat unique (reduce #(conj % (map str (second %2) (range))) [] (post-fn unique)))) (recur (if-not (some #{f} unique) (conj unique f) (vary-meta unique update-in [:encountered] conj f)) more)))))


HTH,
Jim

I did consider that but I want to preserve the order of the incoming sequence.

    Hi,

    Use frequencies to get a map of path => nb of occurrences, then
    for each entry of the map, create unique names.
    Cannot provide an impl on the uPhine, sorry

        I have a sequence of file names and I want to make them
        unique.  (uniquify ["a" "b" "c" "a"]) => ["a" "b" "c" "a_1"])

        This is what I have come up with, but surely there is a better
        way?

        What would you all do?  Feedback welcome (including the word
        'muppet' as I am sure I have missed something simple) :)

        (defn uniquify
          "Return a sequence, in the same order as s containing every
        element
          of s. If s (which is presumed to be a string) occurs more
        than once
          then every subsequent occurrence will be made unique.

          Items will be updated to include an incrementing numeric
        count using
          the specified formatter function. The formatter function will be
          given the name and the number and should return a
        combination of the
          two.

          The set of unique s's in the returned sequence will be the
        count of
          s's in s."
          ([s] (uniquify s (fn [item duplicates] (str item "_"
        duplicates))))
          ([s formatter]
             (let [occurrences (atom {})
                   register-occurrence (fn [item]
                                         (if (get @occurrences item)
                                           (swap! (get @occurrences
        item) inc)
                                           (swap! occurrences assoc
        item (atom 1)))
                                         @(get @occurrences item))
                   process (fn [item]
                             (let [duplicates (dec
