Uuuuuummmm......

Okay, just, fyi, I'm always conflicted with typing out pronunciations so here a key to a few things in case they aren't obvious.
I'll use the letter H, but obviously, it can be changed to any other letter.

HAH- is the sound in laughing "haha" sound.
HA is the sound in "hat."
HYE is the same as the word "hi" or "high."

I think the rest should make sense. Let me know if not.

Also, these are only pronunciations I know. There are probably more to some of these names that I'm not familiar with.

wonderful series! - orginal query with some variances

These may or may not be the same - and may or may not have different spellings

George

Jorge - it may or it may not

Debora(h)

Debra

Also similar names - but quite different forms - and most despise social confusion

Susan & Suzanne

Craig & Greg (Gregory) seem to be different, but are often confused due to auditory similarities; an easily understandable confusion exists between Craig & Greg - by the quick sonority of the first consonant: and how often are two people devoid of other surrounding sounds when speaking?

Sheila (pronounced Sheela) // Sheila (pronounced Shayla)

Richard Accent in the letter "I". Richard - accent on the letter 'a'.

Daniel / Danielle either name can easily sound similar or different - or one spelling may retain the pronunciation of the other (popular) pronunciation.

Ignoring linguistic differences, there are a few I can think of:

Karin — could be Karen or KAH-ren.
Sara — could be Sarah or SAH-rah

Well any that have English as their usage + another usage, really. So many!

Just look at David for example.
