And the amount of Jacks in nursery rhymes! Jack be nimble, Jack Sprat, Jack and Jill, the house that Jack built, Little Jack Horner . . .
I agree - we see the name theme over and over. Identity, or lack of it, seems to be a major thing for pretty much everybody.
Another thing that it always seems to come down to is blood. The vampire thing, bloodlines, blood in more subtle ways - it's even been in Doctor Who and Torchwood. Blood control in the first Christmas special with the Sycorax and the blood-alteration thing in the first ep of Season 2 Torchwood are the two that spring immediately to mind, and I'm sure there's more.
