You can, but you have to ensure that that name is unique in this context.
Specifically, each of the child Actors of a given parent must have a unique
name within that parent. So this error is saying that one of your entities
is trying to create multiple children with the same name.
If you want to set the name, you're going to have to do it algorithmically
in some way to make sure that it's unique per-entity.
