The Two Diems

Today in class I mentioned that I often have more than one Mohammed in a class, so that any information which follows that name in an adjective clause is ESSENTIAL. Which Mohammed are we talking about?  The Mohammed [who is] from Jordan, or the Mohammed [who is] from Kuwait.

A better example would have been with Diem, since we have two Diems this semester.

So, I can differentiate the two Diems as follows: 
Diem who is in 5E and Diem who is in 5F
Both of these adjective clauses are essential in order to know which Diem we are referring to.
