Imma tell you a story to give you some rl context to tribal names.
So, in one of my anthropology classes, awhile ago, we were talking about embarrassing experiences relative to culture. We had a few guys from Athabaskan villages along the river, and they got to joking about how those guys down river were weird (relative to potlatch behavioral expectations and such). Same tribe in the definition sense, but composed of different families and traditions -- just enough to make them seem strange.
Point is, despite sharing a tribal name, they had almost nothing to do with each other except occasional and distant interaction.
So, if you see a Keeper with the same name, they can be different, and you also have some fun opportunity to collaborate and say 'oh, you're one of those southern Aliapohs,' while giving the side-eye. And then you can do fun cultural rp where they learn to appreciate each other's differences or do a frenemy thing or something and always make fun of each other for the different practices and beliefs they have.
It's an opportunity for character interaction and character development! Embrace it. Have fun with it.
