I'm not entirely sure what you're meaning here but if you have two 
symbols with the same name in two different modules their fully 
qualified names won't be the same.

If you're referring to using a string literal as an attribute then that 
would be a bad thing, like we have tried to explain. It's better to use 
a type which will have a unique name.

If I have misunderstood what you're meaning could you provide a code 
example?
