It was common. And sometimes they added more names and took away some. In reality they were probably known by one or two names, but on occasion would use other names to indicate their ancestors relationships. Amalia and Emila, in my experience are most common after 1850 or so. Don' see it much before that period. There would only be a possible connection if you were in the same village in the same time period.
