You'll need to suppress the whole section, not just the field.  To do this, go to the Section Expert for this section, click on the button to the right of the Suppress checkbox (do NOT check the checkbox!).  Enter something like the following formula:
 
{MyTable.IDField} = previous({MyTable.IDField})
 
You should also take a look at how your tables are linked together in the report - there's something in the data in the way that they're linked that is causing the second name to appear.

if you do wanna clean up using a script for duplicates

DELETE
FROM Foo1
WHERE Foo1.ID IN

-- List 1 - all rows that have duplicates
(SELECT F.ID
FROM Foo1 AS F
WHERE Exists (SELECT Field1, Field2, Count(ID)
FROM Foo1
WHERE Foo1.Field1 = F.Field1
   AND Foo1.Field2 = F.Field2
GROUP BY Foo1.Field1, Foo1.Field2
HAVING Count(Foo1.ID) > 1))
AND Foo1.ID NOT IN

-- List 2 - one row from each set of duplicate
(SELECT Min(ID)
FROM Foo1 AS F
WHERE Exists (SELECT Field1, Field2, Count(ID)
FROM Foo1
WHERE Foo1.Field1 = F.Field1
   AND Foo1.Field2 = F.Field2
GROUP BY Foo1.Field1, Foo1.Field2
HAVING Count(Foo1.ID) > 1)
GROUP BY Field1, Field2);

The Previous function looks at the value of a field or a formula in the previous record.  There is also a Next function that looks at the next value of a field or formula.

Suppress if Duplicate on the ID field only suppresses the ID, not the rest of the field.
 
 
As I posted above, you need to suppress the whole section by right-clicking in the grey area to the left of the section and select Section Expert.  Click on the formula button to the right of the word "Suppress" (DO NOT mark the Suppress check-box!) and enter a formula like this:
 
{MyTable.IDField} = previous({MyTable.IDField})
 
Replace "MyTable.IDField" with the table and field name of the actual field that you are using.
