the error message should indicate something about this check being done case 
insensitive, too...

or it should go ahead and fix the case the way it is being entered... since it 
detects the duplicate, it can inquire about renaming as newly entered or leaving 
it (and aborting) or are we trying to create a new one and simply typed a name 
already in use... three options with some smarts in the choices ;)
