You can't give a text field the same name as another text field -- even
a deleted one -- in Elements. This is because they're still in the
database, and the reason they're still there is so that, if you created
a story that used the field, and then deleted the field from the Element
profile, the field will still appear in the story. This makes archiving
possible.
The solution is to give the field a different name, but to use the same
label (or display name -- I can't remember which we called it there).

Same story. You can't create an element with the same name as another
element, even if you've deleted that Element. Again, this is so that
stories that were created with the deleted element in the past will
still work properly. Unfortunately, there currently is no "Label" option
for elements, so you'll just have to give it an entirely different name,
e.g., "Story Page".
