"Helena and I announce with great joy that we have a baby Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher, a brother for Peter, Mary, Thomas, Anselm and Alfred." Mr Rees-Mogg said.

The other children's full names are Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius, Thomas Wentworth Somerset Dunstan, Peter Theodore Alphege, Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam and Mary Anne Charlotte Emma Rees-Mogg.

Anyone still think he doesn't have a sense of humour?

Nanny will be busy.

Still, it gives Rees-Mogg even more credibility as a Brexit crusader against the Establishment.

If you don't include their middle names there's nothing of note.

And if you do include their middle names?

And if you do include their middle names?

Shows that Rees-Mogg is a proper posho.

[Pip in a Poke]

Well, if he'd have called his fifth child Quinten (or the female equivalent) at least there'd be some consistency there.

[OwlHoot]

I guess in due course the kid will be grateful his parents didn't name him Biggus Dickus!

BTW Anselm was Archibishop of Canterbury in the late 1000s during the reign of William II ("William Rufus"), one of William the Conqueror's sons.

The King was pretty much what we would call agnostic, and for his amusement used to wind up the archbishop no end with threats to convert to Judaism or even Islam until eventually Anselm in disgust went into voluntary exile.

The boys better hope to God they never have to go to the local comp. There'll be no tulip left to have kicked out of them by half-term...

Just having Jacob Rees-Mogg as your dad is enough to have the crap beaten out of you.

Oh btw comp kids now have "interesting' names especially if they are in a city or large town.

Some teacher I know changed her surname on marriage to her husband's boring English one and the kids' basically told her "What kind of fecking name is that?"
