"anne" should be ok. "mary" may need (^?).

By default, to speed up matching, the Proxomitron reorders the lists.
http://local.ptron/.pinfo/lists/Exceptions-U tells me the entry on line 247 of Exceptions-U.ptxt will be scanned after 1171.
So, if "maryanne" precedes "mary" in 'C-blocklist.txt' and matches more frequently, it may also precede "mary" in The Proxomitron's hashed list. Then, 'mary' should not be a problem.

You can disable the reordering of a list by adding the "NoHash" keyword to the list. This slows matching but has its uses.

To get an "inside" look at what's going on with your blocklists - including how they're being hashed, how often each item is checked, and how often each item matches, Proxomitron now includes a special information URL...
http://local.ptron/.pinfo/lists/
Here you'll find a table of all loaded lists, their filenames, number of items they contain, and the number of items that have been prefix or URL hashed. Clicking on a list's name will bring up a detaied breakdown of each entry it contains. This can come in very useful when trying to make the most efficient use of your lists.
