Normally Henry and Harvey are not interchangeable. If you nevertheless
feel certain that they are one-and-the-same person, then it was probably
a case where someone was named Henry as a child, and later decided he
liked to be called Harvey better, or vice versa. Not because the names
are interchangeable, but because both names begin with the letter H.
