C#: How would you make a unique filename by adding a number?

Question

I would like to create a method which takes either a filename as a string or a FileInfo and adds an incremented number to the filename if the file

    private async Task CreateBlockBlob(CloudBlobContainer container,  string blobNameToCreate)
    {
        var blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(blobNameToCreate);

        var i = 1;
        while (await blockBlob.ExistsAsync())
        {
            var newBlobNameToCreate = CreateRandomFileName(blobNameToCreate,i.ToString());
            blockBlob = container.GetBlockBlobReference(newBlobNameToCreate);
            i++;
        }

        return blockBlob;
    }



    private string CreateRandomFileName(string fileNameWithExtension, string prefix=null)
    {

        int fileExtPos = fileNameWithExtension.LastIndexOf(".", StringComparison.Ordinal);

        if (fileExtPos >= 0)
        {
            var ext = fileNameWithExtension.Substring(fileExtPos, fileNameWithExtension.Length - fileExtPos);
            var fileName = fileNameWithExtension.Substring(0, fileExtPos);

            return String.Format("{0}_{1}{2}", fileName, String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(prefix) ? new Random().Next(int.MinValue, int.MaxValue).ToString():prefix,ext);
        }

        //This means there is no Extension for the file and its fine attaching random number at the end.
        return String.Format("{0}_{1}", fileNameWithExtension, new Random().Next(int.MinValue, int.MaxValue));
    }

I use this code to create a consecutive _1,_2,_3 etc.. file name everytime a file exists in the blob storage.
