This comes under our planned enhancements. Our plans include:
Change the restrictions on the regex for the Name class to allow for more flexible names
Which will solve the issue mentioned here
The 'Original' Bug
[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]
Names overly restrictive
Only allowing alpha numeric characters in names is overly restrictive, many legal names exist where '/' are needed. some non alphanumeric characters should be accepted.
Steps to reproduct:
- Run in CLI ' add n/John s/o Doe p/98765432 e/johnd@example.com a/311, Clementi Ave 2, #02-25 k/Joe s/o Doe d/Has a history of memory loss t/mentalIllness t/owesMoney'
Expected output: User added
Actual output: Error non alphanumeric names

Description: The add command does not allow for duplicate names to be added into the contact book
Steps to reproduce:
add n/Blake p/88887777 email/blake@yahoo.comadd n/Blake p/00009999 email/blake2@yahoo.comExpected behaviour: Both contacts should be added to the list since the emails and phone numbers are different.
Actual behaviour: The second Blake cannot be added to the contact.

Notes: The unique name constraint is already mentioned in the UG. This is more of a minor feature flaw since in the real world, although quite rare, people can have identical names even though they are two different people. When managing many clients, such a scenario may happen and thus, the app should account for this behaviour and allow duplicate names to be accepted.
