This often happens in groups of a certain age range! We have several folk all named 'Kathleen', 'Margaret', 'Christine'....... we tend to use surnames to differentiate.

At school, the duplicate first names are used with the first letter of their surname: eg Jake S, Jake Q, Jake M and Jake C,.

Or.....make them change their names as you were there first :-D :-D

I belong to a women's group. We meet once a fortnight for lunch, evening meals, trips to the cinema/theatre etc and always a good old chin wag. Last meeting we had a lovely young lady who has rejoined the group (aged thirty) her name is Paula, I have just had my email regarding our meeting for this coming Saturday and and a new lady is joining us her name is also Paula. The organiser suggested we use
Paula 1, Paula 2. Paula 3 .as code names. I am not so sure.

Any ideas?
