If there's one thing we know about George Lucas, it's that he likes to re-use and recycle names. If you look back into older drafts, you'll find a lot of familiar-seeming words in unfamiliar forms. Below is a list of recycled names, and other places they show up in the (canon) Star Wars universe.

Name How are they related?
Bail Antilles Related by blood to Breha Organa.
Beru Whitesun Lars Married to Cliegg Lars' son.
Breha Organa, (née Antilles) Married to Bail Organa.
Bail Prestor Organa His last name comes from "Ogana Major".

The fact he has the same first name as Bail Antilles is just some crazy coincidence.

Captain Raymus Antilles Distantly related to Bail Antilles and Breha Organa.
Chewie Antilles Original name of the version of Bail Antilles that would later become Wedge.
His first name would eventually become Chewbacca's nickname.
Clieg Whitsun Was changed to Cliegg Oxus, and then eventually became Cliegg Lars.
"Oxus" later became somebody else as well.
Mace Towani No relation of Mace Windu. "Towani" comes from "Townowi".
Ogana Ogana Major was at one time going to be the name for Alderaan before becoming Leia's surname.
Syfo-Dyas Typo of "Sido-Dyas"
Sido-Dyas Clumsy pseudonym/false identity of Sidious
Townowi One of the original names for Tatooine.
Utapau Was going to be the name for Tatooine (replaced by Ogana Major), then was the name for Naboo, and then ended up being a third completely different planet.
Wedge Antilles Not related to the other Antilles.
