Post any mathematicians that have very similar names and get easily lead to confusion.

So far I can only think of two, I am sure there are more:

1)Schwarz (as in Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality) and Schwartz (as in Theory of Distributions --> won Fields medal).

2)Lipschitz (as in Lipschitz continuity) and Lifshitz (as in the physicist).
