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

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

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

Contrived and stupid.

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.
