Follow the steps to remove the hyphen (-) automatically from the Opportunities Name upon Lead conversion.


Example: LEAD NAME (THE COMPANY INC) CONVERTED TO OPPORTUNITY (THE COMPANY INC- )

This is standard Salesforce functionality. By default, Salesforce allows Users to add the name which starts with Account Name -. So they can edit that name and use some other name. Generally, people use Account Name-Opportunity Name.
