Unfortunately, current mgd_get_person() implementation contains both id
and name check. So when argument to this function contains only digits, it
assumes that it is id (doesn't rely on type of argument).
So I don't know how you could work around this problem without rewriting
this function in midgard-php or fixing your person names - just add any
letter in name.
