I have 2 different seperate investment accounts with the same institution (Fidelity)

How do you record the same mutual funds in 2 different accounts. Want them to be distinct from each other. Example: FBGRX, Blue Chip Growth. I want to record it as 2 separate funds in 2 different accounts. In other words, I want to keep all the transactions separate for the two different accounts. How do I duplicate the fund name to be distinct for each account. Every time I try and add FBGRX to the new account, with the fund symbol, it just uses the account name I already have in the other account, so I am unable to keep the transactions for that fund separate. In other words, it combines all the transactions under one name. I want to keep transactions distinct and seperate.
