It might be too expensive...

Personally I'm not sure that it is the right way for common usage.
More over we already have such identifier:

* object_id, for internal usage
* date, for user friendly usage.

But you can experiment with setting incremental names on your activity
side, i.e., just keep current seqno in activity persistent storage and
increment it every time your create new object.
