Preventing form fields from auto-populating?

I have a form in Adobe 9 that I would like to include in duplicate in a file. However, when one form is filled out, then the data replicates to the second copy in the same file. Is it possible to turn this feature off so we do not have to create multiple copies of the form with unique field names?
 
Thanks!

No.

They have to have different names.

You might want to investigate how PDF form templates are spawned and the field names are modified.
