Issue 109905

A spreadsheet workbook used by many users around the world for reporting 
astronomical observations uses cell and range names that another workbook with 
a macro uses for translating data into a coded text format and for merging data 
from multiple users. 
When an observer opens the reporting file in Calc it changes some of the names.
I particular a Name "_Remark1" gets changed to "_Remark1_2".  There is another 
name "_TRemark1" on a different sheet that appears to be mistaken as the same 
name. This implies that Calc requires the last 6 or 7 characters to be unique.

I am able to change the macro to serach for both names as a work around so this 
is not too serious but it took quite a while to find what was happening and I 
was only able to analyse when the user mentioned that he used OpenOffice and 
not MSOffice.

I have searched you Issues database and have not found this problem or 
constraint on name uniqueness mentioned.

I would suggets that at very least a warning message should be given when names 
are changed. A note in the help about Range names may also be useful.
