Is it possible to have two different names in the address book with the same email address?

I am a newsletter editor for our local quilt guild. I have a member who also has a quilting business. The email address is the same for her private address as well as her business. I am sending to both but the address book won't save two separate names with the same address. Thanks

I often get repeats of the same Contact when I merge or combine address books, so I don't see any restriction on duplicates.

I'd set up two different contacts, each with the same address.

What's the difference between the two instances of this person? Are they not using their own name in both of the two cases?

An email address is unique, but it can have different text labels. (That's how some scammers make it look like they have hijacked your account.)
