Contact by duplicate name report should consider middle name & suffix
This report needs to take middle name and suffx into account. "John A. Smith" and "John W. Smith Jr" really shouldn't be considered duplicate records.
The suggestion may be planned, but there is no timeline on this feature being added.
This suggestion is remaining open and can continue to gather votes and comments!

This would be extremely useful! Clearly, if the suffix is different or the middle name / initial is different, they are not the same individual. Please consider changing this for the duplicate name report

the screen when you select the duplicate contact report shows the middle initial. However the PDF or XLS files when exported does not contain the middle initial. This is many cases the only item that separates the contacts as unique.
