There are so many Wings and Wongs that whenever I Wing, I get the Wong number!
Seriously. I'll have a Zi and Zhi and a Xi.... and Huang and Wang... Shou and Chou and now I've somehow got Huan Yue Dunning and Huan Yue Liu. Exact same first AND middle name!
My favorite though was Ma-Ku Chi. :-)
Seriously.... whoever came up with the names in Shanghai was a SADIST.
Anyone out there ever mis-accused in Shanghai because of mistaking a name ? I haven't yet, but I know I have to be always on my guard!

I have had it happen once or twice, but not often.

I had a case in Delhi with two suspects both had the same first and last name. Only the pic was different. Lucky for me I noticed it in time. I thought this was not suppose to happen so I posted a bug report, but never heard anything from Ben about it.
So it could happen!

I have come across two Huan Yues once as well and reported it as a bug, but it seems that it is still happening.

In Shanghai, I started using the "Doctor Watson" utility, http://www.angus.demon.co.uk/sleuth/watson.htm#. I am meticulous about cutting and pasting the exact spelling of suspects' names, and keeping them in the order they appear on the map.
BTW, a good reminder ALWAYS to pay Shady after 2 false accusations.

*rocks in her chair petting the little kitty in her lap*
When I first came to town, *looks off in the distance briefly lost in a memory or two*a little over two years ago....Ben made arrangements so that exact duplicate names wouldn't happen.
*grunts softly, a sour curl over her lips* But Shanghai is dreadful. All those two first named people. Those should count as duplicates if you ask me. Rotten city.
*waves absently to bookshelves lined neatly with cardboard boxes* The memo is over there somewhere. I'm really not up to digging for it though.
I wonder if maybe something got lost in the recent expansion or something?

B&D has offices in Dehli and Shanghi and I have experienced the same name many times. I just never thought much of it. I keep my suspects by their initials and always double check before accusing. Just thought it was part of being a meticulous detective (ok, so I'm a virgo and *maybe* a little anal) and that was the Sleuth Gods way of keeping me on my toes!

Thats scary. What if both Huan Yue's had false alibis and Huan Yue had PE evidence against him. Who would you accuse?
