    Yates, Yardley and Thatcher sounds like names a british gammon would give his dogs. Only one missing is Winston, and that might just be because it’s such a stereotype.

        french bulldog winston

        If you ever have to talk about or to her dog call/refer to it as “Vincent” and really push the French pronunciation. "Hes french! You ever hear of a French person named winston? Fucking racist. Its pronunced Vin-SSSon "

          I wanted to name one of them Fidel, but I liked the theme and if you’re going to name a pet Fidel, then I feel like it’s better suited for a dog or a bearded dragon. Lenin would be a parrot.

    Contrary to popular belief, Thatcher Kelly is not named after the British politician who fucked a bunch of people over, rather Megyn Kelly’s hope was for nominative determinism to lead her child to literally become a person who builds roofs using dry vegetation as a profession, a low cost and ecologically friendly form of roofing.

      I’m inclined to believe this since the other one is called Yardley. She really just wants her kids to RETVRN.

        “Yates” is an obsolete form of “gates”, too.

    Those are fake names. Nobody would actually name a child Yardley.

      Yardley sounds like a word an Australian would make up for drinking 3/4ths a gallon of beer.

      I’ve got a bad news for you

      It probably all originate from that parish in Birmingham, since it’s over 1000 years old and a lot of people lived there over the years, so naturally other places, things and people were named after that.

    I remember when people like this made fun of “black names.” The names of her children sound like the cast of a British drama set in the 18th century.
