 * Hi, I’m getting people accidentally re-registering on the site with a different
   email address. Is it possible to flag the issue on registration if the first 
   and last names exactly match a user already registered?

 * Hi [@cabnz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cabnz/),
 * There is no option to validate the first and last name together if you are using
   separate fields. You can validate by “unique meta key value”, however, in this
   case, you should create a new filed that contains first and last name.
    Alternatively,
   you can use custom validation, however, this would requre some custom coding.
 * Regards.
