Hi Howard,

You can create new field "Custom Account Name" and write workflow rule for update this field for standart Account Name every time a record is created or edited. This custom field you can make unique.

As a common practice, if your question is answered, please choose 1 best answer.

But you can give every answer a thumb up if that answer is helpful to you.

Thanks,

Alex
