XianganElisabeth (nn Elsa) and Parthenia (nn Nina) = Awesome sister names!! Why is their brother called Kenny of all things? sigh.
Ruth and Mahlet
Masha and Michael (nn Misha) - sort of. Masha & Misha sound more like names for twin puppies or kittens.I know some teenage Atticuses but I always expected them to be older!

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.
