Default Unique Named Selections from a Set of Faces

So I'm trying to find a way to expedite the creation of named selections. What I would like to do is:
  • Select x number of individual, but disconnected faces
  • Create a named selection
  • Get x number of named selections

I have a case where I have a pattern of inlets that I need to assign unique boundary conditions to, however I'm looking for a way to name each inlet so that they are unique (without doing it one by one, as I may have upwards of 100+ inlets).

I've done this before where each of the inlets was connected to different zones, such that:
  • Inlet 1 connected to fluid zone 1
  • Inlet 2 connected to fluid zone 2
which I select both inlet faces and apply one named selection (say name ="BCinlet"), such that it produces solver boundaries of names
  • BCinlet.fluidzone_1
  • BCinlet.fluidzone_2

Anyone have ways to do this automatically for a case where all the inlets are connected to one zone?
