I'm guessing that many novice writers truly believe that it's wrong or at least inelegant to repeat the characters' names. Slash scenes (m/m or f/f) seem especially fertile ground for terrible use of epithets, probably because the authors start worrying that it's not clear who is doing what to whom!
