Stephan Pastis should be ashamed of himself. And Rat's momma for naming
her daughters the same name.

Isn't there some celebrity who has four or five sons, all of whom
have his first, middle, and last name?

George Edward Foreman

That's the one. Former boxer, I note. Maybe that explains it.

Don't forget Constantine the Great..

Did he name all his *sons* Constantine? Or was it his son and
then his grandson and then his great-great....?

Royals do that fairly often. Think of all those English Henries
and Edwards.

But they got to distinguish themselves with Roman numerals.

That appears to have more to do with the nicknames given Constantine’s successors by later generations. Late imperial names could be quite chaotic.

His actual first name was Flavius. But history (and even more,
historical tradition) tends to decide the commonly used names of Romans arbitrarily. How many people do you know who understand that the famous dictator’s personal name was “Gaius”, his extended-family name, “Julius’, and his narrower family name, “Caesar”?

Most people don't know that the famous Cleopatra was number VII.

She ruled jointly with Ptolemy XIII, XIV and XV. Some of the Ptolemys
had two wives named Cleopatra, and some of the Cleopatras had two
husbands named Ptolemy, so it gets really confusing in that family.

Do you even remember this Family Circus 1975 comic strip when Dolly was taking a bath in a tub?: "Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn, Marilyn..."
