My favorite name collision is Ontario, CA (city, state) and Ontario, CA (province, country).

  I had a friend from Ontario tell me she was going to school in London. That was confusing initially.

    I moved to Canada, and whenever I tell a Canadian my sister lives in London, I basically always have to add "in the U.K." just as they ask about London, ON.

  If you book flights to Sydney on Concur, you are given a choice between two places called "Sydney NS". One NS is Nova Scotia, Canada, the other is New South Wales, Australia, and they're about as far away as is possible on this globe.

  The Ontario’s are funny. I often get something shipped and think it’s close at hand for southern Ontario, only to be disappointed when I realize it’s in California and it’ll be a few days before it even hits the border. Saint John NB and St John’s NL is one I find endlessly funny. On paper it should not be a collision, and even out loud it really isn’t one, yet I know multiple people who have independently flown to the wrong one.
