Yes, I agree. Sorry I can't think of a more modern example just now, but there is a passage in _Shirley_ (Charlotte Bronte) where I have to go through with my finger EVERY time, muttering "Caroline, Shirley, Caroline, Shirley, Caroline ... yes, it WAS Caroline who said that! Now, where was I?"

I'd stake something that the confusion between the two there has led a few critics to assume that all the more hotheaded speeches are Shirley's, which IIRC they aren't (it's about honors even really).
