There is some kind of programming block that prevents adding a "too similar" author name.

The workaround is to:
- add the secondary name as as ShannonChakraborty, ShannonCTemp or similar temporary nature.
- Save.
- Then edit the secondary author name to Shannon Chakraborty proper.
-Press the save button next to the secondary author name.
