  I can do that, sure. But IMO there's a UX problem when you append "Copy of" to the beginning rather than the end. Imagine that you have a file that starts with a Z and you duplicate it. The duplicate appears near the top of the window because it begins with C. If the current view is scrollable, view scrolls up to the top to show you the newly duplicated file. This causes you to lose your place in the view, which could be annoying if you were planning to do something else with another adjacent file or perform another operation on the original file (perhaps to duplicate it a second time to perform some A/B testing on two duplicates with slightly different changes, for example). For this reason, I prefer the macOS behavior of appending "copy" to the end of the filename, not to the beginning.
