I would do something like:

 (defn uniquify
  ([xs]
     (uniquify xs (fn [x n] (str x "_" n))))
  ([xs formatter]
     (letfn [(uniquify* [xs seen]
               (lazy-seq
                (when (not-empty xs)
                  (let [x (first xs)
                        n (seen x 0)]
                    (if (> n 0)
                      (cons (formatter x n) (uniquify* (rest xs) (assoc
seen x (inc n))))
                      (cons x (uniquify* (rest xs) (assoc seen x (inc
n)))))))))]
       (uniquify* xs {}))))
