Re: Cool list! But I have a question...
It's merely a characteristic of the language, many other names have two e's or a's and as you've probably noticed are variations on English names just like many of the other languages of the world. Double i's are very common though, especially for female names. :) I'll try to put together a list of other names here that have different meanings (ie not variations of other names) :)
