I  actually would recommend we keep that option even though uniqueness of
names is (thankfully) no longer enforced by DHIS2. In a lot of situations,
names is all you have to match on, so it would be a pity to remove this
option.

It then becomes the user's responsibility to ensure uniqueness - but
perhaps we could aid the user by checking for uniqueness and sending out an
alert in case of duplicates? I think that would be the best solution.
