It's band names, but I occasionally refer to The Pretenders when I meant to refer to The Proclaimers.

Bobby Brown and Millie Bobby Brown Halle Berry and Halle Bailey John Wayne and John Wayne GacyThe media really could have just called him "John Gacy". Ready some biographies about him and true crime stuff, no one called "John Wayne" growing up.

Halle Berry and Halle Bailey My brain struggles so bad with Halle Bailey. I have to say her name like Squirrelly Dan from Letterkenny saying sushi and sashimi or else it’s just Halle Berry.

Shawn Michaels: Professional wrestler, WWE Hall of Famer. Sean Michaels: Adult film actor. In fact, WWE sued the latter over the name years ago. Ironically Shawn Michaels is a born again Christian while the porn star is obviously not.

John Holmes is the name of both a 70s porn star and a modern professional golfer. The golfer goes by "J.B. Holmes" to avoid confusion.
in that Vein, Carmen Elektra's real name is Tera Patrick, but there was already a porn star using that name.

I was shocked to find out there's a Colby Bryant out there in the NFL now. Same pronunciation too.

Shawn was in Playgirl all right but that was before he became born again. He also wasn’t told that more men look at that mag then women.

I have done a thread like this before. Here are my go-to examples.
Prodigy (late rapper, one-half of Mobb Deep, real name Albert Johnson, from Queens, New York) Prodeje (of South Central Cartel, did albums with another rapper named Havoc) The Prodigy (English Electronica band)
Speaking of which, the two rappers named Havoc. One of them is the other half Mobb Deep, real name is Kejuan Muchita, and the other is of South Central Cartel. There is also another West Coast rapper named Havikk, and a more current rap group called Havik.
Here is a big one involving similar names. Capone (real name: Kiam Holley; one half of Capone-N-Noreaga, from Queens, New York) Capone (Chicano rapper from Los Angeles, California) Mr. Capone-E Cap.One (I think he is from Chicago) Capone Lee (stand-up comedian; real name - Derrick Lee)

There have been 4 professional footballers in Australia named Nathan Brown, two in the Aussie Rules league (AFL) & two in the National Rugby League (NRL). The two in the AFL had overlapping careers at different club. The two in the NRL did not play at the same time but last season the retired Nathan Brown was working as a coach at the same club the other Nathan Brown was playing for.
