Apparently it was not uncommon for two living children in the same family to have the same name because of the naming conventions of the time, in which the oldest children in a family were named after their grandparents and the younger after their great-grandparents[4]. Presumably the children had nicknames to differentiate them.

    'These conventions [naming children after grandparents and great-grandparents] lead to instances where 2 or more living children in the same family could have the same first name. For example, if both Kristoffer and Kari had fathers named Ole, it was likely that they would have 2 children named Ole. There is one instance in Årdal with 4 living Oles in the same family.'
