The 'Original' Bug
[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]
Realodex should allow multiple clients with the same name
Since Realodex is meant for real estate professionals to manage clients, I believe that the constraint of only having 1 client with a name (mentioned in the UG) is a feature flaw. For example: a user could have 2 clients with the name Roy Lim (an arbitrary common name).
As such, this implementation decision would inconvenience users, and I believe it is a feature flaw.

It is noted in the UG that it is intentional for Realodex to not allow duplicate names into the system.
However, given that a real estate agent with many clients is quite likely to run into clients with the same first and last name this might become an issue for many users. This could be worked around by using the clients name as well as phone numbers and address altogether to check for duplicates rather than just the names.
Users can still currently work around this by entering clients full names or using their own nicknames for clients so it is not a high severity issue.
