I'd been meaning to post on this.  I think it's just a limited
number of names that Steve can keep track of.  Now, some of
these may be the same person, but as you have pointed out, some
are unlikely. Also, consider writing 20 books and coming up
with enough names to populate them.  :)

Consider:

Ricardo: TPG -> Librarian, POTD -> One of Morrolan's witches
Ambrus: BP -> Cook, Vlad books -> Noish-pa's familiar
Ibronka: POTD -> Main char, Vlad books -> Vlad's grandmother, Other ->
	Hungarian folktale character
