[Opinions] 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*
