I can't think of any other characters that have the same first names.  
Am I forgetting some?  Is there any significance to this, or am I 
just being overly analytical. >>>


There also are two Teds: the weatherman in SS/PS, and Ted Tonks, 
Tonks' father. Of course, they might be the same person, but I'm not 
buying that.
You also have Gregory Goyle and Gregory the Swarmy (statue behind 
which there is a secret passage F&G found in their first week in 
Hogwarts), and Ernie MacMillan and Ernie Prang (on the Knight Bus). 
All these are Muggle names, but even though.

As a matter of fact, there is a third Augustus: Augustus Worme 
commissioned the first of Fantastic Beasts.

I don't think sharing first names means something, but there most 
definitely is a connection between Gladys and Davey Gudgeon. But that 
has been discussed.
