I like that Northrop Frye decides he's going to refer to the pregnant Juliet of Measure for Measure as "Julietta", to "avoid confusion" -- presumably to protect the reputation of that other, more beloved, Juliet.

Shakespeare recycled a lot of names. There are Claudes (-io, -ius) all over the place.
