Duplicate Personal Sites

I encountered a problem with users creating personal sites as it errored saying a site already exists with that name. The reason was because account names in AD were being re-used for other people so there was a site based on that account name but it related to a different name. The original users details had been overwritten in the Profile database so I couldn't see what was causing the error.
In the end, I had to access the personal site and change the owner to the new users name, this meant changing the owner to myself, deleting the old user from Manage Users and user information and then adding the new user in and making them the owner.
