[The team marked this bug as a duplicate of the following bug]
Names of dates should check for case sensitivity, for example a data name John should be same as john
As mentioned in the title, similar names that have different case sensitivity should be counted as the same person.
Possible scenario:
I want to go out on a date with a person name Aaron, and so i added him into LoveBook.
After mugging for a day, i forgot if i had added Aaron into the LoveBook and decided to add him again, because i believe the application will flag out to me if i added already. It didnt come to my mind that i could have just used find.
I added aaron again, this time with small caps, and it successfully added.
Now i want to find blind date, aaron will have a dispropotionately higher chance of being selected.
The above is applicable to other dates as well.
The reason why i give medium is because i believe this is something that occurs frequently. For example adding a new person into our phone contacts,

[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]
The issue you mentioned contains has the following flaw: If you forgot if Aaron is in the lovebook, u could have used the list/find/filter command to check if he exists.
The name is deemed to be case insensitive unless specified otherwise. This allows flexibility in adding dates, and should not be considered as an issue.

:question: Issue duplicate status
Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
The app recognises 2 persons,
John doe
andJohn Doe
, with all other fields the same, as separate persons. In a real life scenario, this is probably not the case as very likely these 2 people are the same persons, and that the user has mistyped the capital letter for one or more of the words. Thus, this current implementation of the app would be a feature flaw as duplicate persons may be added to the database, unbeknownst to the user.
