Names that really aren't common enough for an author to use twice for unrelated characters:
Jabez (Doyle, in 'The Red-Headed League' and 'The Three Students')
Gotobed (Sayers, in 'Unnatural Death' and 'The Nine Tailors')

After Dracula Daily season is over this year, you know what this site should try next? The Sherlock Holmes books that were originally published in short installments in the strand magazine! Perfect for the email format! Tumblr becoming obsessed over Sherlock Holmes sounds fantastic! Absolutely nothing can go wrong there, it's not like anything catastrophic has happened in the past in relation to the obscure consulting detective and his dear friend doctor Watson! No sir, not at all! Has this site even heard of Sherlock Holmes?? I doubt it...

slightly nsfw text post below
it’s so wild reading rated E fics for for both holmes/watson and jeeves/wooster because holmes and watson could be sleeping together for literal years and never know that the other was also in love while the only way bertie and jeeves would ever have sex is if nothing short of a marriage proposal were given beforehand
