Someone on another forum I also posted this to didn't like
Kenny either. I don't have a good explanation for this...he's listed as just
Kenny somewhere else, so I assumed it wasn't short for
Kenneth.
Masha and
Misha are Russian and my understanding is that they have a significantly smaller pool of widely used names and having similar nicknames is really common.
Masha talks about her friends who are also named
Masha, and then there's Dasha,
Yasha, and
Sasha.
