oh, yeah.  And there's blanket letters of permission to conflict for names as 
well.

Most of the most visible permissions to conflict you get for names are with 
order names for groups, but I've seen them for people and household names, 
etc. as well.  Heck, in order to get the name passed for the Rising Star of 
Ansteorra, we had to get permission to conflict.  It's in the Collected Name 
Precedents.  :)

You can read some of the precedents on permission to conflict in regards to 
name conflict at:
