5. Down south somewhere, I'll go for Kerry.
8. Hyperion (I know all of the ten pre spaceprobe-era moons of Saturn, and as Hyperion was the eighth counting out from the planet, and the innermost one wasn't discovered untill much later, logically this must have been designated Saturn VII. Oherwise it would have to be Titan which definitely isn't irregular. If this isn't correct after all that then I give up!!! )
