I'm way out of my depth and and not even sure if a macro like this is reasonable (I'm sure it's possible, it just may be more effort than it's worth).

I have a series of days in column "A" (starting in row 3), 1, 4, 7, 3, 5, 22, 4, 8, 30, etc. The numbers are the day of the month.

In Column "J" (starting in row 3) is a list that looks like this - though much longer:
JANUARY
Margaret
Liam
Sam
Martin
FEBRUARY
Yuka
Paul
MARCH
Stephen
Tamara
etc.

Everyone listed under JANUARY is a Jan date, and everyone listed under FEBRUARY is a Feb date and so-forth;
Margaret is Jan 1
Liam is Jan 4
Sam is Jan 7
etc.

Yuka is Feb 3
Paul is Feb 5
etc.

Cell B1 contains the year.

What I would like is a Macro that cycles through the list and fills Column "B" (starting at Row 3) with the concatenated dates, so that:
Margaret is Jan 1 2018
Liam is Jan 4 2018
etc.

I will never run the macro where some of the dates are in one year and some are in another, so the year in call "B1" is valid for all the names in a run.

I think that covers it.

Interested in what can be done with this hodgepodge of stuff, and as always thanks for even looking.

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
I have assumed that where there are Month names in column "J", the corresponding rows in column "A" are Blank. (The code need this to function)
Results in column "B".
Code:
[COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR] MG09May51
[COLOR="Navy"]Dim[/COLOR] Dn [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, Mth [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]String,[/COLOR] R [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Range, Dt [COLOR="Navy"]As[/COLOR] Date
 [COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Each[/COLOR] Dn [COLOR="Navy"]In[/COLOR] Range("A:A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants).Areas
    Mth = Dn(1).Offset(-1, 9)
    Dt = "1/" & Mth & "/2019"

    [COLOR="Navy"]For[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Each[/COLOR] R [COLOR="Navy"]In[/COLOR] Dn
        R.Offset(, 1) = R.Offset(, 9) & " is " & MonthName(Month(Dt), True) & " " & R
    [COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] R
[COLOR="Navy"]Next[/COLOR] Dn
[COLOR="Navy"]End[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]Sub[/COLOR]

Thanks Mick

Almost but not quite, what I got is:

Margaret is Jan 3
Liam is Jan 4
Sam is Jan 5
Martin is Jan 6

Yuka is Feb 4
Paul is Feb 5

Stephen is Mar 2
Tamara is Mar 3

What I require is (OK if it is formatted as text as this gets exported to a csv file):
Jan 3, 2019 (the year should come from Cell B1)
Jan 4, 2019
Jan 5, 2019
Jan 6, 2019

Feb 4, 2019
Feb 5, 2019

Mar 2, 2019
Mar 3, 2019


Thanks in advance

Add to code as shown in red
Code:
 For Each R In Dn
R.Offset(, 1) = R.Offset(, 9) & " is " & MonthName(Month(Dt), True) & " " & R [COLOR="#FF0000"][B]& " " & [b1]
[/B][/COLOR]    Next R
