Answer 8

8-Dasher, Comet, Cupid,Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,Donner and Blitzen

Dasher, Comet, Cupid: Names that imply speed, quickness, and flight ["Cupid" has wings].

Dancer, Prancer, Vixen: Names that imply grace and nimbleness [a "vixen" in this sense is a female fox].

Donner and Blitzen: Originally "Dunder and Blixem," the Dutch words for "Thunder & Lightning," names that imply power and strength.
