Annachi reminds me of the name in a Scottish folk song (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Saltoun_and_Auchanachie) but I am sure that is not what the parents were going for. I kind of like Liberty. I know a Chinese guy with the name.

Contrived and stupid.

Rebel Wilson is fabulous! The sibset is certainly shocking and nothing that I would ever use, but kudos to her parents for just going all out!

I did a bit more searching, and found that she was named for a singer at her parents' wedding. Each of the siblings have a royal middle name (the siblings' middle names aren't given). Also, Rebel went by Elizabeth at school. If interested, here's the article: http://m.dailytelegraph.com.au/lifestyle/sunday-magazine/winning-laughs-and-losing-weight/story-e6frf039-1226186071421

If only they'd just named her Anarchy - even though that puts too fine a point on it to be namey; it's only droll. Annachi is not only droll but kinda lame. Ryot is lame too. But in theory, it's a radical sibset. Literally. I like it. If you're going to go crazy with names, may as well go. It puts a different spin on Rebel ... In the US I usually think of Rebel as a name given to allude to the Confederacy. I heard of an accountant in Texas named Rebel Quillin, and that is one of the top 5 coolest fn/sn combos I've ever seen in my life.

I'd have wanted those siblings to be named Liberty, Rebel, Defiance, and uh ... hmmm, Striker? instead. lol

Yikes... a bunch of names I would not like.
