VBA run-time error “7” when naming xlXY ScatterLin

Question

I'm running a code that requires me to name a chart so I can refer back to it later. The code I use for this is:

Sheets("Summary").Activate
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddChart.Select
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatterLines
With ActiveChart
    .Name = "energy distribution chart"
End With

I've tried just naming the chart not using the with... as in:

ActiveChart.Name = "energy distribution chart"

Doesn't work also. Whenever the code runs at that line I get a "run-time error 7 - Out of memory". I've tried putting this code so that it starts to run in a new macro in a new module but it still always gets that error 7 - 3 lines into a new piece of code! I have no idea what's going on. Help?

Edit: Following to mehow's answer, how do I then re-select the chart?

I've tried:

With Worksheets("Summary").ChartObjects("energy distribution chart").Chart(1)
    .SeriesCollection(sheet_number - 1).XValues = Worksheets(sheet_number).Range(Sheets(sheet_number).Cells(1, 7), Sheets(sheet_number).Cells(i4, 7))
    .SeriesCollection(sheet_number - 1).Values = Worksheets(sheet_number).Range(Sheets(sheet_number).Cells(1, 8), Sheets(sheet_number).Cells(i4, 8))
End With

Which doesn't seem to work... .. hm. I've also tried getting rid of the (1) next to charts. Yep. No idea.

Chart it's an embed object. If you want to change of the object ( not chart itself ) then

ActiveChart.Parent.Name = "chart name"
