Different scenario but in my first time dming I ended up naming two characters Phil... they were both bandits.
Adventure is Nigh (a D&D actual play starring Yahtzee) had both a prisoner and a guard called Jeremy in episode 1. It was pointed out, so roughly a quarter of the NPCs in season 1 were named Jeremy.
Hah, my first time, I had one of the bandits yell "Sammy!" to another, a name I just grabbed on impulse. Sammy was also one of the PC's names...
That's when you turn it into a running gag, and see if anyone notices before they're clearing out whole camps simply named "Phil".
Lol, they didn't outright kill all the bandits so they ran into them again several levels later. It was a fun time
