A lot of these seem to be instances where the spelling or names are similar.
Not me (of course), but many people think Robert Palmer and Robert Plant are the same guy.It's easy to get Ryan Adams and Bryan Adams mixed up because of the similar spelling.
Amerie, Ciara, Cassie, Toya, Kandi, Lil' Mo and Nivea are interchangeable artists in the same genre.Allure, Xscape, Brownstone, Total and SWV were all similar and interchangeable and easy to mix up as well.

David Lynch and whoever that other Lynch chick not a director is. Ok, I guess I can actually distinguish between them. It's just whenever I see the other Lynch the first image that pops up in my mind is David and then .00052 seconds later I realize it's a reference to the other.

Paul Young (Sad Café and Mike + The Mechanics) and Paul Young ("Wherever I Lay My Hat", "Come Back And Stay" and so on) tend to be mixed up a lot for obvious reasons. The latter was even mourned in various places when they former died.
