Oh, doesn't he just! The first time I came across him was Revelations (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0313121/), a 1994 drama about two intermarried families, one of them called Tyler. There was also a Tyler (and a Harkness) in The Grand (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0118327/), and another Tyler (and some Saxons) in The Second Coming (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0353104/). He'd previously used Harkness in Century Falls (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0105969/). There are black bridegrooms called Lance in Queer as Folk and The Runaway Bride. If it weren't for all of that, you might not think there was anything odd about the number of Joneses in his work, or the fact that there was a Mickey Smith in Queer as Folk 2.
I was convinced that the Doctor's next companion after Tyler and Jones would be a Maloney, but that didn't work out because they didn't know Donna would be a regular when she first appeared. But she does share a name with Nathan Maloney's sidekick, Donna Clark.
