With the same domid?  Yes.  Unless I'm completely missing something,
the hypervisor knows nothing of the *names* of the domains.
 
Even if there are two domains with the same name, they have different 
domain IDs which is okay from the hypervisor's perspective. 
 
Am I wrong?

Going on the assumption that the names are known only to the tools, I
think the tools are the best place to perform the check.
