Unique names truly are idiotic in a world with billions of people.

When he brought up the DoubleBaconWitch, I immediately thought of DBZA when Goku claims he invented then the Doublebaconwhich, and that it's a sandwich with bacon instead of bread
Especially when, like this game, there is absolutely ZERO reason for it.

"Oh no, there's two people in the hub area named Bill!" who cares?
Don't think so, never seen GGG care much about names in my time with PoE, don't know why would they start now. Probably it's a shared db between both games.
I actually have had good luck with that, once you go into unusual 2-3 word synonyms, you usually get it on the first try, like "krangling_shout" for a corrupting cry character.
