Much higher than the chances of two people naming their town and character the same things, rolling the same town and character IDs, and encountering each other, anyway.

Because only the character ID would be different, the chances of rolling an identical ID to your existing character with the same name would be relatively high. That means the IDs and names are the only things the game looks at to tell the difference between characters, which explains why you can't have multiple characters with the same name in the same town. I then traveled to her town and spoke to her villagers, who treated me as though we had met before (we hadn't-in fact, it was my first time visiting her town).

I did a bit of testing with that in mind, and changed every instance of my town ID + town name and character ID + character name to match those of my friend. This is why overwriting all of the creator's information stored in a QR code with your own is enough for the game to treat it as though you made it. If they do match, the game recognizes it as your creation. If they don't match, you won't be able to edit it, despite having identical town and character names. When you scan a QR code, if your town name and character name match those of the creator, it next looks at the town ID and character ID to see if they're a match. There are pattern editors around that allow you to change the creator's name, town name and unique IDs (those values) of a pattern so that the game thinks it's your creation when you scan it (enabling you to edit it/display it at Able Sisters/use it on sign boards and such). Those values play an important part in pattern QR codes as well. These values likely serve a similar purpose to the secret ID number in Pokemon-That is to say, even if multiple people happen to name their town and character the same things, the game still has a way to differentiate between them (if it ever has to).

Searching for that value followed by my character's name brings up 35 results. Character names also appear to always be preceded by a 2 byte value (again, ignoring the aforementioned instances). Searching for that value followed by my town name brings up 92 results. The value from 0x5C738-0x5C739 appears to always precede your town name (ignore the instances where it's written on the bulletin board/in a letter, as those won't be preceded by that value).
