One easy way to confirm if the name already exists or not is to use our Import/Export tool to export the Contacts table and Item table and take a good look at the FullName field for both. The name could be in use on the Method side which is preventing it from being used again.
The Import/Export tool can be found within your Method account by going to Customize>>>Integration Tools.
