Much of the internet has been left in tears after finding out the names of Rebel Wilson's siblings.
It's 2024, guys. There's some pretty peculiar and usual names out there, but that's the joy of having children - you can call your offspring whatever you like.
And it seems Wilson's mom and dad did just that.

Life has been pretty busy for the actor - best known for her roles in Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids - in recent times as she became a mum to a little girl via surrogate in November 2022.
Wilson also got engaged to her girlfriend, Ramona Agruma, in February 2023.
Nowadays, most eyes are on the star potentially expanding her brood again in the future, something which has led to fans looking at some of the existing members of her family.
Well, upon further research, it has led to many realizing that Wilson's 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,” Wilson said.
On the origins of her own name, she 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.”
The actor went on to explain how the unique names given to her younger siblings are all inspired by England and royalty.
Liberty Mair, 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.
Many have flocked to X after finding out the names of Wilson's sibling and they've all been saying the same thing.
"Liberty, Anarchy & Riot are the names of Rebel Wilson’s siblings. How f***** badass is that family?" one user wrote.
Another said: “Excuse me Rebel Wilson’s siblings are called what now? Damn, I wanna meet those parents.”
While a third chimed in, asking: “Who is in charge of naming that family?”
