Are the names similar, as in start with the same few letters perhaps? There
is a feature called 'autocomplete' that will stick in data that is similar to
what you are starting to type in a cell. (in some cases it make entry
multiple entries of the same data easier) You can go into
'tools'...'options'....'edit' and uncheck the 'autocomplete' box.
