Is it possible to create new variable names on the fly?

I'd like to read data frames from a list into new variables with numbers at the end. Something like orca1, orca2, orca3...

If I try something like

paste("orca",i,sep="")=list_name[[i]]

I get this error

target of assignment expands to non-language object

Is there another way around this?
