This highlights the issue of same names shouldn't be flagging duplicate persons as ''people with the same names are common''.
Rejected as we mentioned this as planned enhancement.
5454 is the same issue.
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.

People with the same name cannot be entered into the application. This causes inconvenience as people with the same names are common. The user guide did not provide any workaround if such a case occurs.
