Disclosing name of offers to headhunters

How common is it for PE headhunters to ask for where else you have offers (i.e., asking for the firm names)? I received an offer today and told the other headhunters I am in process with in generic terms, but then they asked for the name of the firm and terms of the offer. Is this normal to provide? 

The firm I received an offer from is a direct competitor / peer of the others I am still in process with
