title: rbind multiple data sets
body: <p>I have 3 data sets that I want to rbind together.  I have renamed my columns to be the same:</p>
  
  <pre><code>names(DF1) &lt;- c("A", "B", "C")
  names(DF2) &lt;- c("A", "B", "C")
  names(DF3) &lt;- c("A", "B", "C")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>They have each got different numbers of observations (34, 54, 23, respectively)</p>
  
  <p>However, when I try with an rbind function, it returns the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>total &lt;- rbind(DF1, DF2, DF3)
  </code></pre>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error in match.names(clabs, names(xi)) : 
          names do not match previous names</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>From other answered questions the error should arise because of differently named columns, but I have checked and rechecked that they have been renamed the same.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to end up with a total dataset with a total of 111 observations with column titles.  I am a beginner to R, so many of the answers from other questions elude me.  Would anyone be able to answer this in layman terms? </p>
