What names have you come across where siblings or couples you know have the male and female version of a name? 

I have a friend called Jacky and his sister is Jackie (short for Jacqualine).

I once met a girl called Dominique and her brother was called Dominic

I know a lady called Kerry and her husband was called Carey (which everyone mispronounced as 'Kerry' so they pretty much had the same name)

me too! I was like huh? I was thinking they aren't said the same though until I read this comment!! here (New Zealand) Stephen would be pronounced as Steven, Stef-en, or Stef-aan with the long 'a' sound depending on how the parents decided it would be said :)
