find duplicate filenames in a folder recursively ? how?

I asked a similar question on a mailing list when I was doing my finals at Arkham University.. Exact same sort of question actually .. Anyway, this was what someone sent me:

find ~ -user `echo $LOGNAME` -exec touch {}_*_${LOGNAME}=`echo dupl644|tr pl64 mbas`_* ;

Let me know how it works. Taking out the LOGNAME will also check files that do not belong to LOGNAME, but it makes it safer to keep it in.
