Can you create feature classes with the same name in different feature dataset

I've searched but can't seem to find any info on this which is surprising as this should be an easy one to answer.

I'm using ArcGIS 9.3 and trying to create a feature class called 'cadastre' in multiple feature datasets within the same file geodatabase.

ArcCatalog is giving me a 'The specified name already exists. Please enter a different name' error.

It's been a while since I used ESRI software but I would have imagined this was possible since they are in seperate feature datasets.

Is this expected funcitonality of the geodatabase?
