Multiple cats sharing the same name? Ex. they weren't all in the same Clan, but there were several cats named Robinwing over the course of the series. Also there were like 2 Ashfurs and several others that come to mind.
I'm personally not too bothered by it [heck, that's why one of my old, long dead characters is named Mousefur], but I know some people who'll throw a fit because they think that every character has to have a completely unique name.

It's fine usually, but having four Robinwings is a bit much

It's fine usually, but having four Robinwings is a bit much I agree with you on the four Robinwings thing. Like, Erins. Please come up with a different prefix for these cats, or at least a different suffix. There's a bit too many of them.

I'm fine with it, especially with names like Ashfur, Robinwing, Gorseclaw, etc. After all, -claw, -wing, -tail, -fur, -foot, etc. are quite common suffixes. I will say, it annoys me to no end when someone says "Oh that's so and so's name" or "That name is canon". I honestly don't see the problem with names like that because of course there are going to be repeats.

It's bound to happen. I wish the Erins would keep better track of the names, but it's completely reasonable that names would repeat.

I'm fine with it. For as long as the Clans have been around, it would be weird if absolutely no cats shared names. However, I do think it's odd there was a ThunderClan cat named Frecklewish.
A while back, I wrote a fanfiction that was set before SkyClan was driven out of the forest and there was a female cat I named Brackenfur. I just thought the name fit her.

don't care as long as they aren't repeating the name of a major character
same thing with fan characters

I think if there is a big enough gap between when they were alive its okay but I would rather not have it.

I don't mind it TOO much, but I always prefer unique names over doubles. That said I also don't like the "Mary-Sue/Super-special-magical" names like say Shinespirit or Shadownight or something like that.
I just don't want to see a fifth Robinwing or a fourth Birchstar that's all

It's annoying, but it makes sense. It's mostly the awful names for background characters they reuse which confuses me. Nothing over Three though.

I think it's fine. It makes perfect sense. There are so many freaking cats at this point, I think it's understandable.

I don't mind it. I mean, there's literally countless characters in the entire series. It only annoys me a little bit when those two cats are alive at the same time. Imagine them walking up to each other at the gathering, "Hi, Copycat!" "Hello Copycat. How's WarriorClan been?"

Lol that's almost exactly what will happen when Hawkwing's Journey will be translated to German because both Clear Sky/Skystar as well as Cloudstar have Cloudstar as their translation and as we know they talk to each other in the prologue

I don't see why it's such a big deal. Names are going to be reused. As long as the names are common, it really doesn't matter.
What really annoys me is when people get upset over characters having the same prefix. Yes, you read that right. Back when TAQ first came out, I saw at least four separate comments on Vicky's fb asking if Leafpool is going to die because Lilyheart named one of her kits Leafkit. Um, what? Cats are allowed to share an extremely common prefix. And when someone replied to one of these comments and told them that is didn't matter, that op screamed at them that there couldn't be the two cats with the same prefix in one Clan at the same time. I know that was an extreme example, but dang.
As for full names, I don't see a problem with it as long as it is a common name.

Honestly I'd rather have multiple sensible names than some of the ridiculous ones that have been popping up more recently ((see cloudxbrights newer litter)) Personally preferred the traditional naming system
