Hi everyone, we want to thank you all for your meaningful feedback and detail of the uses you each have for enabling duplicate names for contacts.
Right now, the contact name field is the key identifier that interacts with many other Xero features, and as such, changing how this field functions is not a small feat.
As noted by others in the comments, some users have found adding unique characters or using the account number in the contact name useful.
At this time we don’t have plans for developing the ability to have duplicate names of a contact in Xero. However, the work happening around core features might open the door for improvements like this down the line.
For now, we'll keep a close watch on the support this idea continues to build, and we’ll make sure to share updates if anything changes.

Hey everyone! It's been really insightful reading through your comments on adding a preferred name field to employees. We see how this feature could help with creating a more inclusive environment, while also helping prevent simple administrative mix-ups.
There isn’t a dedicated way to manage this in Xero right now, but your feedback has highlighted the opportunity for one. For this reason, we have updated the idea's status to Accepted, confirming our product team agrees this is a feature we’ll put on our radar to consider developing in the future.
We’ll let you know as soon as we have an update here.
