There's duplicate check for character names on the same account. If you don't want to go with the "Bob II" -route, one workaround is to add space at the end of the name to make it look identical to the previous character.
Also you can effectively rename your character by changing your display name before making kin with anyone. Do note that the name you gave to Wizard in character creation room will forever be used in the Character Selection screen and on your skull, should it ever be harvested.
