generic homonyms

[Cris Guppy & Aud Fischer]

I stand corrected. However personally I see no reason that the same generic
name should not be used in different Orders. But if that is what the Code
says, then that is the rule.

However, has anyone looked to see if there is a Commission "Opinion" that
conserves any of these names?
