If you need to do this many times consider using a script, which can spawn copies of the page and rename the fields in the new page automatically. For example, this (paid-for) tool I've developed allows you to do just that:

If you only need to do this a couple of times (and don't have many fields on each page) then renaming the fields manually is probably your best option.

Fields with the same name have the same value, you need to change fields name so they are unique across pages.
