My players once almost killed a cleaner because he had the same first name as the bad guy.
Reminds me of in DM of the Rings, when they thought they won after killing Saruman.
Something like that. They found out the villains first name, which wasn't exactly uncommon. Asked a guard whether they new anyone by that name, and since they managed to be pretty charming, the guard was like, yeah sure, I know a dude with that first name. Wasn't even related to the story in any way. Just some dude.
I probably would have had them mention a few people with that name, just to make sure they know you're not abiding by the One-Steve Limit.
