Different people with the same name

I have pictures with different people, but they have the same first and last name.

When I want to create a new person with the same name I get the hint that the tag must be unique.

So I gave the new person a different tag consisting of first and last name and an addition.

If I now search for the name with "Link to Person" I get 2 entries with the same first and last name. The extension of the tag is not displayed.

How can I now determine with "Lik to Person" which person I really mean?

The tag must be unique, it is used to identify persons internally.
You have the full name, short name and other names properties to differentiate your persons. People with the same name is not rally something special.

QuoteThe extension of the tag is not displayed.

Where should it be displayed. Which label have you configured for persons? Usually it is the full name and not the tag. Person Label

I changed "Property to use as label" to "Tag" in the settings. Now I see in the person selection at "Link to Person" both persons with different names and I can distinguish them.

Thanks.
