Objects of the same type need to have unique names, I expect that is what you are seeing. As an example if you have a space type named "office" you can't make another space type with that same name. this is also true for any other object type like surfaces, spaces, etc. You are allowed to use the same name for objects of different types, such as a space named "office" and a space type named "office" however I generally try to avoid that to avoid confusion.
