I'm working with a new employer, just long enough now that I should no longer be making the newbie errors that are so amusing to all the first few times they occur.

I think I've finally trained up to where I won't make this mistake again, but my boss, my IT guy, and one of the engineers all share the same first name.

When I get in a hurry I occasionally send meeting invites to inappropriate persons.

You'd think that Outlook would have an option like {Query if first name has multiples in your contacts} but apparently not.

And why not?

Is there no option for you to associate a handle with a name? Then you could specify Marc1, Marc2, and so on.

Or "Boss", "IT Guy", and "One of the Engineers".

I can think of a few meetings I've been in where I wouldn't have minded an inappropriate person, if only to liven things up.

Never allow yourself to be hurried.

Never invite anyone to a meeting, and never accept invitations to meetings.
