Don't laugh. There was a Marshal of France in the 16th Century named Anne de Montmorency. He was the Duke of Montmorency, a distinguished soldier and diplomat. He was named 'Anne' because the Queen at the time of his birth, Anne de Bretagne, was his god-mother; always useful to suck up to the royals in those days.
