If they are named through the Southern tradition of a family last name perhaps they are related and are legacies or received similar strong recs? Or maybe it is something more sinister and someone stole someone's baby name by overhearing it and they are separated by various degrees. Where's Jessica from Murder Show Wrote?

I like looking at naming trends and having some "o rly?" moments as I have a traditional classic name and rarely meet other women my age with the exact spelling, so I find names so fascinating. My last name is also pretty rare and until recently everyone with it I knew how we were related but now a whole bunch of Nigerians on facebook have it and it has gotten me wondering.
