Question / Help Turn off Global Sources?

So perhaps I'm just going about this the wrong way since I've used OBS Classic for a long time but essentially what I'm trying to do is add a non global source. If you're wondering while I'll explain...

When adding a Game Capture source, for example Overwatch, OBS doesn't let the source have the same name as the scene, which normally is fine, I'll just name the source "Game" instead of "Overwatch".

However lets say I want to stream another game, Quake for example, when I go to add the Game Capture source for Quake I cannot name the source "Quake" nor can I name it "Game".

In the following image you'll see red and blue circles. Essentially I feel like the names should be separate so that way you don't have source names the contradict with scene names. Basically red should be separate from blue.

Perhaps this is just me being extremely OCD or maybe I'm just using OBS wrong but I personally think this kind of contradiction is a little silly and I was hoping someone could post a work around or just what they do instead. Thanks.
