I need help with a Yuletide nomination

Other people who have read Among Others,

Morwenna Phelps and Morgana Phelps? Morwenna Markova? Mori Phelps and Mor Phelps? Mori Markova?

AND THAT THING WITH THE NAME-SWAPPING, I'M NOT ACTUALLY SURE I UNDERSTOOD IT. Mori is actually Morgana, right? And she became Morwenna after Mor died? That's what happened? Please reassure me that I understood the book. Thanks!

Mori/Mor Phelps and Mor/Mori Phelps might be the way I'd go with it? Mor/i seems to be the main character's chosen name, and Markova is definitely an imposition of her father's family upon her.

The Phelps sisters?

I also am not sure I understood the name-swapping, so thanks for saying that.
