And Harry and Henry are the same name!
Harry started out life as an English form of Henry, not as a nn for Henry (or Harold, for that matter). It was only later that the English took up Henry itself.
I absolutely don't like sibling sets where the names are different forms of one name. It's just... gah, I can't explain it. But it irks me to no end. *Hmphs*
