I would think that a method name should give a clue as to what it actually does.
In that sense AddRef/Clone seems better to me ?
Even if it is used by types not being ref. counted? Ref. counted types are only

For non-ref. counted types?
I didn't know it is used for non-ref. counted types as well.
For those types, there is no difference between copy/clone then?
