Only process the name elements, and while processing them using the
following-sibling axis to get hold of the paired age element:

  <xsl:for-each select="name">
    <person>
      <xsl:copy-of select="." />
      <xsl:copy-of select="following-sibling::age[1]" />
    </person>
  </xsl:for-each>

Cheers,

Jeni
