Your approaches have tried to format either 3 independent counter numbers
into the string (the same number 3 times) or uses 2 fixed 0 characters that
never change
If you are using my custom counter suggestion, try updating the format
string like this
uniqueNamePattern("abc_{0:0>3}")
That says to pad the number with 0, right aligned, with a width of 3
