Can't upload same photo twice - Laravel 4 Image Intervention

How do I make sure each indivually image gets uploaded? Here's my issue, if I upload an image called "cat.jpg" and then upload another image called "cat.jpg" but there two different pictures the first "cat.jpg" replaces the second "cat.jpg".

How do I make sure this does not happen? I'm using image intervention and laravel 4. Thanks

http://image.intervention.io/ http://laravel.com/

    if($validator->passes()){

            $image = Input::file('image');
            $title = Input::get('title');

            $fileName = $image->getClientOriginalName();
            $path3 = public_path() . '/img/' . $fileName;
            $watermarkPath = public_path() . '/img/watermark.jpg';
            $watermarkPath = Image::make($watermarkPath);

            // http://image.intervention.io/api/insert
            Image::make(
                $image->getRealPath())
                ->resize('200','200')
                ->insert($watermarkPath, 'bottom-left', 10, 10)
                ->save($path3);

Thanks

To fix this all I did was use the str_random function and I appended the string onto my image

$fileName = str_random(8).$fileName;
