Yes we can create two columns with same name in SharePoint.

1. Create a content type and add a column with name " My Name "

2.Go to the list and add a column with name " My Name "

3. In the Advance settings--> check yes for allowing multiple content types.

4. Add from existing Content Type--> select the content type that created in step #1

That's it.

And i don't know 'Directory' column type. It might be a custom column.

Thanks.
