Name and Number selected paths?

Question

I am working on a very large .ai file of a baseball stadium render. It contains many small sections and box seats that need named and numbered in this format: section::100, section::101, ... and so on. Right now, I'm having to go through and rename each path individually. Is there a script that will save me TONS of time by automating this for me?
I found this one on here, which is a good start for what I need, but it doesn't let me only number selected paths, nor does it let me start the numbering where I want (say at 100 and go up from there).
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var newName = prompt ("What's the base of the new name","base");
var myNB = docRef.pathItems.length;
for ( i = 1 ; i < myNB; i++)
var finalName = newName + i;
docRef.pathItems[i].name = finalName
Thanks in advance!!

I have taken a quick guess at what you want but Im supposed to be busy at work…
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var newName = prompt ("What's the base of the new name","base");
var stNumb = prompt ("What's the start number","1");
var myNB = docRef.selection.length;
for (var i = 0 ; i < myNB; i++) {
     var finalName = newName + stNumb;
     if (docRef.selection[i].typename == 'PathItem') {
          docRef.selection[i].name = finalName;
          stNumb++;
