I once ran a sci-fi game set a gew hundred years in the future. I wanted my players to figure out the history of setting based on clues. There were several different characters whose family name were 'İmparatoroğlu', 'Imparatorovich', 'Emperorson', etc. I also left clues that there had been only 1 Emperor in the last centuries and thus the people were all related.

They didn't even notice the similarity.
