You can find other examples like that.
Belgium's Luxembourg province vs Duchy of Luxembourg
Greece's Macedonia region vs Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia
However I guess that the US's Georgia state is not linked to the ex-USSR one.

Yes, but in the case of the Republic of Moldova it's an "artificial" name, which they (re)invented in 1991. This name existed long before 1991. In the time of Stephen III of Moldova (or Stephen the Great, how we call him), who lived between 1433 - 1504 and ruled Moldova 47 years, between 1457 - 1504, this territory stretched between eastern Carpatians to the river Nistru. So including the Republic of Moldova.
