Answer 8

I found this for you.

Kelly

English: As a male name, an Anglicized form of Irish Gaelic Ceallagh. In Australia and elsewhere in the English-speaking world it is now more commonly used as a female given name. This use probably derives from the Irish surname (Gaelic Ó Ceallaigh “descendant of Ceallagh”); cf. the similar recent use of Casey and Cassidy as female given names. Variants: Kelley, Kellief..

Ann

English: variant spelling of Anne, Ann was the more common of the two spellings in the 19th century, but is now losing ground to the form with final -e.

Marie

French form of Maria. When first introduced to England in the Middle Ages, it was Anglicized in pronunciation and respelled Mary. This French form was reintroduced into the English-speaking world as a separate name in the 19th century, and is still pronounced more or less in the French manner, although sometimes with the stress on the first syllable. The French name is also commonly used as a male name in the combination Jean-Marie.

Pet form: Manon.

Hope this helps.
