Multiple Users with same first_name and last_name not possible?

Hello, If I create two users:
<first_name>Joe</first_name>
<last_name>Doe</last_name>
<login_name>joe_doe</login_name>
<first_name>Joe</first_name>
<last_name>Doe</last_name>
<login_name>doe_joe</login_name>
I get the following error: "Identity with Name 'Joe Doe' already exists." Can't we have two Users with the same first and last names in Aras? This seems like a very common use-case to me..

    Hi Chris, Thanks for your response. Including <login_name> automatically in the <name> won't work with Visual Collaboration or Technical Publication, as these rely on being able to find "Super User" by its name. I guess we could exempt "Super User" from the automation, but is this really the only identity Aras is trying to find in this manner? Will we break something else by including other stuff in <name>? Maybe you can confirm if this is the case? Really appreciate your time, thanks!
