Frequent names of database objects by object type

Query goal: "Names in software are 90 percent of what make software readable. You need to take the time to choose them wisely and keep them relevant. Names are too important to treat carelessly. Names should not cause confusion." (Robert C. Martin, Clean Code) Names should be expressive. Find the names (identifiers) of user-defined database objects that occur at least twice as frequently as a name occurs in average in case of the particular type of database objects. Also make sure that there is no duplication in play.
Notes about the query: Finds the names that are used more than once in case of a particular database object type. The query does not consider objects that are a part of an extension.
