Why don't given names vary more per region?

like town names are very unique; you probably couldn't find the same 2 towns next to each other very often

There are 67 Springfields in the US.
Now, I'm not a countamatician, but that sounds like more than the 50 states (and fourteen territories).
Who's double-dipping?
Apparently Ohio has 11 townships called Springfield. Googling it, I see a site for one in Clark County, one in Hamilton County, one in Richland County, one in Williams County, one in Summit County, and that’s as far as I felt like going.
Yea, pretty much the same UK town names are repeated across the country, sometimes even more than one in a state.
