Some of these are the result of name changes from more traditional names, some to avoid confusion with other places. There were / are quite a few places called Seal Cove, etc..
Overall, being so far away geographically, I have frequently run into confusion between the two SJ's, so much so that I automatically intercept and make the distinction to avoid that. I've known people who were even confused about which Atlantic province they had actually visited, such as confusing Saint John NB with Halifax, etc. Similarly, there is confusion on the other end between Vancouver and Victoria, the wrong one apparently being on Vancouver Island, or perhaps it's Victoria Island?
