  1. Create another contact with the following properties

This is desired behavior to protect against duplication. Each contact within a group must have a unique name.

Are they the same person?

Try to find a way to differentiate their names perhaps?

@DanSheps Those are different people. This information comes from a 3rd party application which handles invoicing for us. So, we cannot even make changes to the name or email otherwise the same would reflect on their invoices.
