The 'Original' Bug
[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]

In the real world, a person with the name

Action: I accidentally added my friend's name again but now in all lower case
Expected result/output: the system helps me catch it
Actual result/output: the system allow the new name input, which means I have 2 objects of the same person in the system, which might cause confusion to me in the future

Suggestions: This is also mentioned in the UG. but I think that this issue could be fixed simply by making the names case insensitive
