There aren't many such cases, are there? 

People often use the same name for different things.  Cancer in Latin could be a crab, a tumor, or a Zodiac constellation. The 28 Mansions (Lunar constellations) of the Chinese include  亢 kàng = "neck", 心 xīn = "heart", 胃 wèi = "stomach", and more...

The repeated labels could also be
  • generic words like "tube", "reservoir", "dim", "bone", ...
  • qualifiers like "big" and "little", "left" and "right", "upper" and "lower", ...
  • misspellings of similar names, like  "Hydrus"/"Hydra", "adductor"/"abductor" 
  • ordinal numbers, like "二" for 河鼓二 = "constellation River Drum star 2" = Altair
