It would be helpful if you show your code so we can see exactly what you are doing. But I suspect I might know.
There are 3 attributes that are enforced unique in AD:
sAMAccountName(commonly called the "username") has to be unique on the domain
userPrincipalNamehas to be unique in the forest
cnattribute (or the "name") has to be unique in the OU
So I suspect you added a "1" to one of them, but not all.
If you're not sure how to do that properly, then update your question with the code you are using and we can help.
