They are all unrelated, but they share the same surname: as from Friday, there are four officials with the name Fernandez in the Argentine leadership, including President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, dpa reported.

First names will be key to recognizing functions and avoiding confusion between the president and three of her ministers: Chief of Staff Alberto Fernandez, Security and Justice Minister Anibal Fernandez, and new Finance Minister Carlos Fernandez.

Carlos Fernandez was the last to join the Cabinet, after Martin Lousteau resigned early Friday as finance minister after four months in office, over a farmers strike and differences within the president's administration over economic policy.
