Description:
It is possible to create two or more connections by the same name and empty string is a valid connection name while "New Server Instance" checks for duplicates and prevents empty entries

How to repeat:
Create two connections with the same name or connections without entering a name at all

Suggested fix:
"New Connection" should behave like "New Server Profile" and should require a unique non-empty name
