Windows 10: Prefix on names of scanned photos in Windows 10

I have been scanning family photos and somehow all the new photos have a prefix (the name of the person that I was scanning photos of earlier) on them. I have no idea how I did this and now cannot figure out how to get rid of it.

How can I stop this and get back to the software naming the photos?

Thank you!
