Yes, it's technically possible to create a different coin with the same name. It will be two separate blockchains and it will work just fine. People or may not have a difficult time discerning the two but that's a different story.

Most of the time small acronyms are duplicate by mistake, it's rare that someone duplicates some cryptocurrency with malicious intent and I don't think that would work anyways.
Exchanges are free to set their own acronyms in the trading pairs should they want to add two coins that have the same official acronym.

So you can create a different coin with the same name on another blockchain ... can you create different coin with the same symbol/name on the same blockchain, like ERC20 ?

So far i found out a few altcoins with the same symbols: BAT, BET, BTM, CAT, ETT, GCC, HNC, MGC, XID ... but all of them have different full name ... so you need to be very carefully when you want to trade with one of them .. so is this only for confusing people or any other reason ? But is it possible to create coin with the same full name and symbol ?

Hello,

i have a question about naming Altcoins. What happend if two different coins have the same symbol with the same full name and the same circulating  supply? Is it possible to create new coin with the same name/symbol and/or supply as another one already have it? I'm not interested to make new coin with some already chosen name, just want to know if it is possible to do this?

Thank you for your answers in advance.
