Wondering how others manage the situation where there are instances of duplicate named individuals? 

We used a workaround recommended within another thread where we add an initial /identifer after the users first name.    However due to us being a large company with a high level of staff change we use an automated import script to add and remove users ,   and recently established the script is overwriting where we have applied these initials/identifiers .  This is as you can imagine incurring an admin burden in having to reapply the initals,   otherwise our users cannot identify the correct user when assigning individuals to processes etc…. 

I have created an idea on the ideas forum to consider adding an initial / identifier field to user accounts ,  If anyone is experiencing the same issue here is a link to vote on -  Add a initial /identifier field to user account | Nintex Ideas
