Is it possible that the "shadow" data they keep on their users includes information from data brokers, such as reverse number lookups, addresses, associates, etc? Perhaps your historical records were fed into the gigantic connected graph that is Facebook, which is why she pops up as a potential friend.

Just thought. Makes me wonder if the random "who the fuck is that?" friend suggestions I see may actually be intended for someone else who shares my name...
