I believe the first 3 Felicias were on air at the same time which was weird as it is not such a common name.

 

Ashley remained a Y&R exclusive, apart from AMC at one time I think?

 

Tiffany didn't find favor. Only EON and SB come to mind.

GH briefly had a Rita, mother of Frisco and Tony.

 

Doug Marland used the name Howard Lansing on GH and ATWT. Wonder why?

 

Michelle was underused.Only Michelle Bauer was ever a main character with that name.

 

Re surnames 

Martin was quite popular

AMC Joe/Tara/Tad etc

DOOL David/Helen etc

OLTL Jonathan Martin 

SFT Doug/Suzi etc

 

Found 2 more characters with the same name

EON had a character named Terry De Marco (played by Anna Minot) back in 1959. Signy Coleman played a character using that name on GL in the 00's.

 

Jack Scott was a character on OLTL (Carla's husband)late 70's and ATWT in 184 played by Ed Moore.
