It's been mentioned before how people in Mayberry have seemingly changed 
names/identities frequently and without explanation.  I did some bucket 
thinking and came up with what I call the Patty/Cathy theory.  In a small town 
like Mayberry there are naturally many people who are related closely and 
distantly.  So there's bound to be the occasional set of identical cousins such 
as Goober Pyle/Goober Beasley, Juanita Pike/Lydia Crosswaith, Floyd 
Lawson/Floyd Colby, and triplets Clara Edwards/Clara Johnson/Bertha Johnson.  
That's why no one bats an eye when they see someone who looks like someone 
else, but has a different name.  Just another cousin or relative, nothing to 
see here, go back to your homes or places of business.
