The name Kelsey has several possible meanings. It was a surname before it was used as a first name, and as a surname, it was probably first given to those who lived in a region that bore this name, such as South Kelsey in Lincolnshire, England. As a given name, it is more popular for girls, but may occasionally be used for boys. It could be derived from the Old English given name Ceolsige meaning "ship victory." Alternatively it could be from a place name meaning "Cenel's island," from the Old English name Cenel (fierce) in combination with eg (island.) Kelsey may be a form of the German name Gelzer, which transformed into Kelsey because of American pronunciation. All this is cool to know but my mom chose it because she thought "Kelsey" was original -- not so much anymore..
My middle name Anne came from my grandmother's name Antoinette which is supposedly a french girl's name. My grandma was 100% Italian so I'm not sure about that one.
The name Taylor originates as an English occupational name from the surname, which stems from the Anglo-French “taillour” meaning “tailor.” It derives from the Old French “taillier” meaning “to cut.” This was a very popular occupation in the medieval times, so the name is very common. 
I used www.wiki.name.com for my info. =]
