    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 "

    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 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.
