I'm not sure about the "both" part, though. There's Dave, David,
David, Dave, David, Dave... and that's just off the top of my head;
I'm sure I'm forgetting someone :-)

A bunch of Jims and Joes, too, though the "Jim and Joe" team is indeed
unique. Seans are a little scarcer, though a few come to mind.

I guess it's a good sign that we don't have too many unambiguous first
names, except maybe _why and Yukihiro....

P.S. I'm coming to London in August to do a Skills Matter course, and
planning to come to the August LRUG meeting, so hopefully will see
y'all there.
