I name my routes according to something relevant for the time. I also reuse names.
I move every few years. Every place I move, I seem to establish routes. The first sport route I bolt when in a new location is always the same. "New Drill in Town."
SOme other names:
"Barb's Birthday Route." Bolted in Okinawa on Barb's birthday.
"LAG" Leah Alison Gulette. The girl i was dating at the time, she also liked to relax and nap at the cliff. (Kings Bluff TN)
"Ernita" My wife and the first route she ever climbed. (Indonesia) Yes, her first route, our first date, was a first ascent. Maybe I am obsessed
"White Wedding" and "the proposal" both put up about the time I married my wife in Indonesia.
About a month ago, "Year off the Dragon."
"Caught Red handed" China. Bolted next to my friends route, the Thief. My Buddy said he felt like a thief when I walked up while he was bolting the best looking line on a wall we both found. China
About six weeks ago, I bolted a insipidity crack in fairly soft rock. "Seamstress."
As for the repeat of names. I've climb a dozen routes named the "Nose." It happens.
