It is better to ignore naming the resources manually, you can't perform updates on such resources. Let the service create the name which can help you with updates.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-sqs-queues.html#aws-sqs-queue-name

"If you specify a name, you can't perform updates that require replacement of this resource. You can perform updates that require no or some interruption. If you must replace the resource, specify a new name."
