I find this quite restricting. Please think about changing this.
BTW, in this specific case, the layer name seems to be stored as an id attribute, whose value HAS to be unique, so as it is this can't be changed.
Strictly speaking that isn't true, it just happens to be easier to do things that way, to just avoid collisions and having a human readable value in the id field. There certainly needs to be a unique id tag but there can also be another non unique label (but off the top of my head I cannot remember precisely if there the tag was name or something else).
