Why does the renegade ba in Diplomatic Immunity have the name Dubauer, the same name as Cordelia's ill-fated ensign from Shards of Honor? Is Dubauer just a very common surname on Beta Colony?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Correct. Like "Smith". The ba knew enough to select an unexceptional name.
Founder effect, ultimately. The short pre-VKverse-story "Dreamweaver's Dilemma" explains that, indirectly. (To be found in my e-collection Proto Zoa.)

In Komarr, there is a scene where Miles pursuades Nikki to leave the bathroom by telling him that he once employed a ten-year-old girl. Was this covered in one of the earlier books? I am wracking my brain and can't seem to remember it, familiar as it sounds.
