The internet has been swept up in a whirlwind of emotion after discovering the unique names of Rebel Wilson’s siblings. It’s 2024, and while there are plenty of unusual names floating around, it’s always fun to see the creativity parents can bring when naming their kids. Rebel Wilson, known for her standout roles in “Pitch Perfect” and “Bridesmaids,” has been quite busy lately, especially after welcoming a baby girl via surrogate in November 2022 and getting engaged to her girlfriend, Ramona Agruma, in February 2023.
With the spotlight often on Rebel’s personal life, fans have become curious about her family background, leading them to uncover some intriguing details about her siblings. Rebel, the oldest of four, was christened Rebel Melanie Elizabeth Wilson – yes, her first name really is Rebel. In a 2011 interview with the Daily Telegraph, she shared that her parents, who are quite conservative, chose unique names for all their children.
Rebel explained the origin of her name, saying, “A girl named Rebel sang at [my parents’] wedding, and that’s where my name came from. My three siblings and I all have middle names after English royalty. Mine is Elizabeth, which is what I was known as at school.” She further mentioned that the distinctive names of her siblings were inspired by England and royalty.
Liberty Mair, just two years younger than Rebel, was named after the famous English department store, Liberty London. In an interview with The Guardian, Liberty expressed her love for her name and her desire to continue the tradition of unique naming, though she had to be dissuaded from naming her daughter ‘Disney.’ Instead, her daughter, who does some baby modeling, goes by the name Sovereign Wilson.
Rebel’s brother, born in 1988, is named Ryot – a creative spin on ‘Riot.’ The youngest in the family, Annachi, was born in 1992. While her official name is Annaleise, she prefers Annachi, which closely resembles ‘anarchy.’ During Rebel’s 2015 defamation suit against Bauer Media, it came out that the siblings jokingly referred to Annachi as ‘on the leash,’ a playful nod to their mother’s fondness for dogs.
The revelation of these names has sparked a flood of reactions on social media platform X, where users are in awe of the Wilson family’s naming conventions. One user exclaimed, “Liberty, Anarchy & Riot are the names of Rebel Wilson’s siblings. How f***** badass is that family?” Another was incredulous, saying, “Excuse me Rebel Wilson’s siblings are called what now? Damn, I wanna meet those parents.” A third commenter humorously inquired, “Who is in charge of naming that family?”
It seems that the Wilson family’s bold choice in names has not only defined their identity but also left an indelible mark on the hearts of fans and onlookers alike.
