Years ago, when I first started using a digital camera, I got so annoyed that I was ending up with dozens of pictures with the same file name (DSC0001 or something similar.) I couldn't put my pictures into the same folder until I renamed them. The problem was that every time I cleared off my card, the numbers started over. Well it turns out that we live in a world where this doesn't have to be a problem.
By simply changing one setting on your camera, you pictures' file names can continue counting up even when you delete your pictures or reformat your card. Look for a setting called something like "file number sequence," and change it to "on" - or whatever is opposite of the setting that produces the problem. If you have a Nikon D40 you can find this control in the "Setup Menu" (wrench.) You won't have to worry about having two files with the same name for the next 9999 pictures.
