I agree that most people would never know about the redundant meanings. I think the vast majority of people are unaware of name meanings and even if they did...I don't think they care! To them, Isabella and Elizabeth are two different names and that's all that matters, so it's not odd for them.

I don't think I've ever come across an example of this in real life.... Unless you count Queen Elizabeth calling 2 of her sons names that both mean "man"!

Sometimes a repetitive meaning can seem sweet - like if a preemie baby is given two names that mean "strong" or "life", it could feel like a prayer or a spell of hope.
