Happened to me a few times, some people I randomly met in a bar where recommended to me the next day, super creepy.

Could not be because they checked you out by name on facebook?

Possible, although I've only given them my first name. And this is not just on one occasions, it has happened multiple times. My best guess has always been that Facebook uses some geo targeting to see who was at the same location at the same time.
