has this ever happened to you?

This will probably only apply to those of you who read more than one book at a time, but have you ever noticed the same names popping up in different books at the same time?

This happens to me quite a bit, & I don't mind telling you that it's beginning to freak me out.

For instance, I've got three books going right now, & all three of them have two characters apiece with the same names--2 Treys, 2 Amelias, & 2 Kates.

What is going on?!? Now, a repetition of Kate I might buy. It's a fairly common name, & a good one for a romance heroine. But Amelia & Trey aren't very common at all. So what's the deal?

Is this a sign that I'm picking up the right books to read all at the same time? (And if I have more than one book going without the same character names popping up, is that a bad sign?) Or perhaps it's a foretelling of the end of the world--you know, like frogs or locusts or something. Except that this has happened before. In fact, it happens to me quite often.

So what I want to know is: has it ever happened to you, or should I be worried? 8-\
