Default Repeated words in spellcheck

I am running a spellcheck on a large Excel file where the name of the
Australian town of Wagga Wagga appears many hundreds of times. My problem is
this: I need to check for repeated words (so want to keep this option on) but
I don't want Wagga Wagga to come up in the spellcheck. I've tried adding it
to the dictionary, but it won't let me (because of the space). Also, it won't
let me click on "ignore all" because, being two words, it treats it as a
phrase.
Of course, I could do a find and replace, make it Wagga, then change it back
afterwards, but I'd really rather not!
Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
