My therapist jokes that he doesn't want us comparing him! His policy is generally not to take friends of current clients, or family either. But he doesn't go around sharing his client list either so it is possible that he could be treating a friend and I wouldn't know it. As in, they might call without even asking me, imagine! Especially since he has been in practice for a long time and has a reputation.
If a friend asked me directly, I think I might say, "It's not that I'm talking about you. But it feels a little weird to me that we might run into each other either before or after a session. Besides, who am I going to complain to about her if you go too!"
On the other hand, my best friend loves her therapist and shares the name with everyone. I went and met her and it was too weird for me...not my friend. But we are very different people as far as privacy goes.
