I knew the answer to q8.
I read the wikipedia article about the name, but to the best of my knowledge according to what I read in the 80s, the name K2 was given due to Kanchanjunga being the other K, which was K1. The other opinion was that K1 was Masherbrum which is another peak of the same massif. (So K1 was Masherbrum and K2 was K2).
