Duplicate Names

[KhoonSun47]

Steps to reproduce:

• Currently, adding double spaces into the names is allowed, which should not be the case.
• They are unlikely to be two different person, just because there is an additional space in between the name. This could also be a result of user making a typo.

Actual Output:
Step 1: Adding a person named called "John Doe"

Step 2: Adding a person named called "John Doe"

Expected Output:

• The system should give an error message that the same name has already been added to the data.

Suggestion: I believe that should ignore the whitespace in between the names.

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I disagree with the decision that this response is "response.NotInScope," and I believe that it should be "response.Accepted" instead. 


This feature could be enhanced significantly from the user's perspective with minimal additional effort. 


The website already acknowledges the bugs related to duplicate detection, emphasising that exact matches are insufficient and suggesting that warnings for near matches would improve user decision-making.
