Could we have same name's for User and Groups in Active directory

When iam trying to create a user name " Logistics " under a OU, I am getting a error

"The pre-windows 2000 logon name you have chosen is already in use in this domain. Choose  aother pre-windows logon name, and then try again"

We already have a group by the name " Logistics "

Could we have same name's for User and Groups in Active directory?

Thanks in Advance
