That's the label of the (presumably) FAT/exFAT/NTFS volume.  There isn't a
whole lot Linux can do when you plug in two things with the same volume
label at the same time.  If you retitle one, the conflict will go away.

The solution to this is to set up udev rules that will define what you want
to happen, rather than relying on the default behaviour.
