Sub-Categories with the same name?

[philblunt]

Hi all!

I'll keep the question breif: Is it possible for two sub-categories, that are NOT inside the same top-level category, to share a name?

For example, I have a top level cat called 'acyrlic' and another top level called 'oils'. However, both acrylic and oils have a sub-cat named 'Blue'.

a) Will this cause any issues?
b) What would you suggest as a work around.

Can't thank people enough for helping me out so far!
Thanks for any help in advance.

No, it wont cause any (technical) issue

Thanks for the quick response Yellow.

It can cause difficulties in admin, say when using the multiple categories link manager. The available categories are all shown in a list, with no distinction other than their ids, making it hard to tell which parent they belong to.
A list written out with parents noted would be a help.

I have subcategories for rings in several different top cats, and it can be very frustrating when I have not noted beforehand which subcat I want to deal with.
