The same name does not mean a duplicate entry (ie the name is not the index). Look closer, you'll notice that only ONE of the entries has an NrComp value that does not equal -1. That's the active crewman. The other entries are merely left overs from earlier times when the crewman occupied those slots. They do not exist as far as SH3 is concerned.

Of course, one can have more than one crewman with the same name.

Anyway, unless you understand the SH3 data file structure and how it works, it's best to leave it be and let SH3 manage it without manual intervention. Otherwise, you are just increasing the likelihood of CTD or other problems.

Pressing "Update All" in SH3Cmdr's Crew Manager and then pressing "Auto-Fix All" will certainly strip any medals and badges that the crew has that might not exist at that time.
