That doesn't mean anything, until it has been defined.

Is "foofoo" a duplicate name?

Or is it just not allowed to write 
{ "foo" "foo" : "bar" }
?

Or is it that all maps (objects) must have unique names, so 
[{"foo": "bar"}, {"foo": "baz"}]
is an instance of a duplicate name?

Or maybe this is about the names within an object, so
{"foo": {"foo": "bar"}}
is an instance of a duplicate name?

->
Of the name/value pairs that comprise a single object, no two [shall/should/whatever] have the same name.
For the purposes of this comparison, two names are the same if they are the same sequence of characters after processing the strings (2.5).

[RFC 4627 doesn't quite define what that is, either, but one can complete section 2.5 with common knowledge such as that the quotes aren't meant to be part of the decoded string.]
