 * Hi, I need to create multiple galleries that have the same name. I create them
   with a unique slug, but upon save a number gets appended to the gallery name.
   Why does this happen? Why does the name have to be unique, is it not just a label?
 * Thanks

 * Dear brycef,
 * The name of the gallery is being used within the shortcode generator that is 
   unfortunately the titles should be different. Thank you.
