It's fine to give more than one character the same name, especially if there's loads of characters. GRRM uses this tactic a lot, because he has a ton of characters and they live in a time where naming conventions in-universe are fairly conventional. It's entertaining to see how people deal with 10+ people in the same extended family called Walder, because they all wanted to curry favour with the Patriarch who has that name. They give them all interesting or funny nicknames, which is exactly how it works in real life.

I think for very peripheral roles, though, not naming the character is fine too - if they're only mentioned once and have no consequence to the story. One thing you can do is to try reading it out loud or speaking your own dialogue between characters and see how natural it sounds. If shoehorning a name in sounds weird, it's probably unnecessary.
