You can have all the clips with the same name no issue. If you don't want 10 clips with the same name it won't work for you. Chances are the clips you would give the same name would all be similar. For an interview it's a no brainer as long as there are no iris shifts. If you sub clipped the interview with information related to the sound bite contents you could still use source clip name with the same name for the source clip even though the sub clips have different names. Perhaps that might be a work around. I do this all the time but I add suffixes so I don't lose the original source clip name because often times that is used in an edl to account for aquired footage. Otherwise I would just rename everything with numbers that match similar scenes. I've done entire series that way without issue but the production company had to use edls from offline for the aquired footage. That's why I started adding suffixes. This is where that extra custom field could yield the best of both worlds. IMHO
