The main demo code is Sub NamedRangeScopes() , but that Calls the others, so copy them all to the same code module , and then run the main demo code, Sub NamedRangeScopes()
Code:
Sub NamedRangeScopes()
10 Call FukOffNames
20 Call getWbNames
30 Rem 1 Add 3 named ranges, 1(i) '_-in the Workbooks name object collection, and 1(ii) in the first worksheet name object collection and 1(iii) '_-in the second worksheet name object collection
40 '1(i) Add a Workbook names object in the Workbook name object collection of this workbook
50 ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Name1", RefersTo:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(1).Range("A1") '_-in the Workbooks name object collection
60 'The form above is like ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Name1", RefersTo:=Worksheets(Sheet1).Range("A1")
70 '1(ii) Add a name object in the first worksheet's name object collection
80 ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(1).Names.Add Name:="Name1", RefersTo:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(1).Range("A1") '_-in the first worksheet name object collection
90 'The form above is like Worksheets("Sheet1).Names.Add Name:="Name1" , RefersTo:=Sheet1.Range("A1")
100 '1(iii) Add a name object in the second worksheet's name object collection
110 ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(2).Names.Add Name:="Name2", RefersTo:=ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Item(2).Range("A1") '_-in the second worksheet name object collection
120 'The form above is like Worksheets("Sheet2).Names.Add Name:="Name2" , RefersTo:=Sheet2.Range("A1")
130 Rem 2 Change the string name of a named range
140 Call GetChaNameObjects(140) ' Check out Info for all Name objects
150 '2a) Use Workbook names objects to Change the worksheet names object name that has the same name as the workbook names object name, change it twice, first using the workbook names object collection and then the worksheet names object collection

260 Call GetChaNameObjects(260)
270 Rem 3 Change the string name of a named range, for example the one in the second worksheet names collection whichg we just renamed to "Name2_2" ,(which Excel holds as like "Sheet2!Name2_2")
280 '3a) Use Workbook names objects
