Third cousin is a pretty distant relationship, it just means that one of your great-great grandparents is the same. There probably isn't much of an elevated risk of genetic problems in the offspring if the two parents are only third cousins.

Chris, Pat and Terry are shortenings of different names that happen to begin the same. Chris = Christopher / Christine, Pat = Patrick / Patricia, Terry = Terence / Theresa. I have never heard of Kelly being used as a masculine name.

Fact 119. Great opportunity for some class leading pedantry here. The marriage between the two Evelyns was annulled in 1936. An annulment posits that a valid marriage never existed. Thus Evelyn Waugh was never married to Evelyn Gardner.
