First, you can name a range in a spreadsheet document but the range name is only recognised on the sheet where the named range is located. This, I believe, is a major defect in Calc. A corollary of this defect is that the range name will not be recognised in another spreadsheet document except in a hyperlink.
Secondly, database ranges are recognised in different sheets of a document so I suggest that you use that tool (/Data /Define Range) rather than simple range names. Thirdly, you may not have to insert a row out of its proper place. I have found that you can obtain automatic extension of a database range by inserting a row after the last row in the range. What I mean is, do not simply paste your data into the next row but first use /Insert /Rows. I was taking advantage of that in a macro until recently when the range failed to extend automatically. I've amended the macro to redefine the range to include the added row. That may be the device you have to use ultimately.
