I think she did use first names of people she knew - did she not say, in one of her letters that she always intended to name a heroine Charlotte, after one of her friends? There's a Charlotte Heywood in Sanditon (no, I don't know where the Heywood bit comes from! ;-) )There's also an awful lot of Edwards, Henrys, and Charleses for it to be just co-incidence, too!
