[Opinions] Names that change from 1 language to another
Even James and Jacob are supposedly the same name, but 1's Grk. and 1's Hebr. Seamus is also a form of James.
Ian is a form of John. So is Ivan. I can kind of see the progression on those though. Also Sean and Shane... and Jane.
Moishe is also Moses. At least some resemblance is still there.
Yasmin takes a few steps to Jessamine.
Peter and Pierre and Pedro... Petros. At least they're all Ps.
Paul and PacoMuch has been done to James and John esp. that I haven't even listed.
Not all to the extremes of Dorcas and Tabitha though.
