People are in tears after discovering Rebel Wilson's siblings' names

Many have been left in literal tears after discovering Rebel Wilson's siblings' names, and to say they are rather bizarre is certainly an understatement.

The actor is known for a variety of different comedic roles, including the likes of Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect.

Life has been pretty busy for the 43-year-old as she became a mum to a little girl via surrogate in November 2022.

Most eyes nowadays are on Wilson potentially expanding her brood in the future, though that hasn't stopped fans from looking at some of the existing members of her family.

And it has led to many realizing that her relatives have some pretty unusual names.

The eldest of four siblings, Wilson's full name is Rebel (yes, really) Melanie Elizabeth Wilson, and it turns out the monikers of her siblings are also quite a mouthful.

Talking to the Daily Telegraph in 2011, she said that her parents are pretty conservative, despite giving all younger members of the family some fairly wild names.

“People ask if my parents are hippies, but they’re actually very conservative,” she said.

On the origins of her own name, Wilson went on: “A girl called Rebel sang at [my parent's] 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.”

As Wilson explained, the unique names given to her younger siblings are all inspired by England and royalty.

Liberty Mair, 41, who is apparently named after the English department store Liberty London, is the closest to Wilson’s age, having been born just two years after in 1982.

According to The Guardian, Liberty said she loved her name and ‘wanted to keep that tradition going’ by calling her own children by unique names too.

Apparently, friends and family had to talk her out of using ‘Disney’ as a first name for her daughter.

“She [my daughter] does some baby modelling and for that, she uses the name Sovereign Wilson,” Liberty said back in 2017.

Wilson’s brother, who was born in 1988, goes by Ryot, which is thought to be a play on ‘Riot’, while her youngest sister, Annachi was born in 1992.

Annachi’s real name is Annaleise, but she prefers to be called Annachi, which is fairly similar to the word ‘anarchy’.

Apparently, during Wilson’s 2015 defamation suit against Bauer Media, it was revealed that Wilson and co. used to call Annachi 'on the leash' - reportedly a cheeky reference to their mother’s love for dogs.

After finding out the names of Wilson’s siblings, fans have flocked to X and they’re all saying the same thing.

One user wrote: “Liberty, Anarchy & Riot are the names of Rebel Wilson’s siblings. How f***** badass is that family?”

Another said: “Excuse me Rebel Wilson’s siblings are called what now? Damn, I wanna meet those parents.”

A third chimed in, asking: “Who is in charge of naming that family?”

In November 2022, Wilson revealed her newborn baby's name to be Royce Lillian Elizabeth Wilson.

According to People she said: “I wanted an original name starting with the letter ‘R’ so eventually landed on that one.”
