Sprint name is changing automatically

Question

The name of a sprint or two in my project changes to another project's sprint's name (when it gets created). We couldn't find a link between the JIRA items in each of those projects' sprints.

To fix it, we simply create another sprint (with the name we desire) in our backlog, and move the respective items from the renamed sprint.

We appreciate the help or any pointers how to get past this inconvenience.

Thanks!

Thanks for your response.

We manually went through each item in Project A's, and B's sprints to see if they appear on any other board apart from this project's but didn't quite find any inter-connection. Is there a way to determine that?

To explain the issue a little more, here's the scenario:

1) There are two different projects (say, A, and B) .

2) Project A has sprint planned out in its backlogs, hence, has pre-set items in those sprints. Each sprint has a specific name.

3) Project B doesn't have a planned sprint yet in its backlog. But some time when a new sprint is created (or some time, even renamed) with a few items from its backlog, that ends up changing the name of the sprint in Project A as well (the associated items however in A's sprint don't get moved out or altered)

To fix:

1) Create a new sprint in Project A's backlog, and give it a name that was lost.

2) Move all the items into this new sprint.

Hello Vipul.
If you are on Jira server, they are chances you have created a Scrum board that is shared between your two projects. 
This board will be able to show issues from both projects and will be visible in both projects. 
Once you create a sprint from one of those projects, the sprint will take the name of the project you are within but will be visible in the second one two.
hope I'm clear enough :) .
