This pesky problem transcends Django. But many Django users will encounter it.
Say we're creating a contact or registration application. What is the best way to deal with the problem of two or more people with exactly the same name? This problem actually has two faces: 1) In an admin situation, it may be possible, though a bit pesky, to add an Instance field; e.g. Prefix FirstName MiddleName LastName Suffix Instance -- thus Mr. John Jasper Smith II 1; Mr. John Jasper Smith II 2 would be two different records in the database. -- Is there a better way to deal with this? 2) In a public registration system, we may not want a registrant to know that another John Jasper Smith II exists in the database. -- Is there a clever way to deal with this?
