I used to have the same thing happen to me when I liked this girl that I know. I used to see her name everywhere, even when I wasn't trying to find it. Not her whole name, but just her first name. I'd see it in magazines, hear it on tv, etc. I'm not sure what it's called, but it sounds like an interesting topic.
Dunno but when you find out if there is such a term let me know cuz this is a very cool question....
