In Korean, what is the difference between 님 and 씨?

Can you put them both after a name? And why is 씨 more commonly used for names, while 님 is more commonly used for job titles? Does 최명화 씨 and 최명화님 make sense and mean the same thing?

    For 'job title', you should use 씨 instead of 님. If the person is your customer, then you'd better use '님' instead of 씨.
