Subject: making a name like "Copy of...", "Copy 2 of..."

Here's a little ruby exercise - i'm a bit brain damaged today and can't
think of a nice way to do this.

I want a method where you pass a name as a string and it returns 'copy
of x' or 'copy 2 of x' eg

new_name("My Lesson")
  => "Copy of My Lesson"

new_name("Copy of My Lesson")
  => "Copy 2 of My Lesson"

new_name("Copy 10 of My Lesson")
 => "Copy 11 of My Lesson"

I can only come up with horrible looking solutions but i feel there's a
nice way to do it.  Anyone?

cheers
max
