This suggests that you’re connecting the nodes *after* starting your applications, so that the application processes have time to globally register themselves first. Global detects the name conflict when trying to merge the registries of the two nodes.

You can for example use the ‘distributed’ option, described here:
http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/kernel/application.html#load-1 <http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/kernel/application.html#load-1>

and here:

http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/kernel_app.html <http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/kernel_app.html>
