Help[Opinions] Politician BA
TBH I don't know anything about this man, I was googling something from the submitted names and just happened across the article, but apparently Jacob Rees-Mogg, British politician, and his wife have had their sixth child:
Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher.
Joining siblings:
Peter Theodore Alphege
Thomas Wentworth Somerset Dunstan "Tom"
Mary Anne Charlotte Emma
Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam
Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius

It's very . . . papal.
Sixties doesn't do much for me. I like Dominic and Boniface. Christopher is nice but boring.

Hahahaha it's a tiny bit uncreative :P It's not bad, just not really my style. I really don't like Boniface or Dominic. Sixtus isn't my style either but at least it is somewhat unusual and interesting even though it also seems a bit uncreative as he is their sixth child.
I love Mary, the others aren't my style.

Thank you!
I'll edit that in; I couldn't find it.

They are rabid Catholics
Of course, they can afford to have 6 children, as both parents were independently wealthy, and then got a multi million pound grant from the government for the upkeep of the mansion the wife inherited.
This man voted for a cut to disability benefits and a cap (below inflation, essentially a pay cut) for public sector workers
He is an appalling individual

Can you and Tisiphone please knock it off with the anti-Catholic remarks? You're forgetting that some of the users here are Catholic. I realize this guy is a bad person, but I've met Catholics from English-speaking countries and most of them don't have names like his children. (Granted, my first name is very Catholic, but I'm not from an English-speaking country and where I come from people won't assume you're hyper-religious if you have a Catholic-sounding name.)
I'm sure most British Catholics don't even use names like Sixtus or Boniface...do they?
Are most British Catholics like Jacob Rees-Mogg and his wife?

I am no more anti-Catholic than I am anti any other religion and I'm perfectly well aware that there are lots of Catholics on the board.
I do have pretty strong views on those who have huge families on the grounds of their religion, and I'm as entitled to those views as you are to any you might have on that or any other matter. I also find a grotesque hypocrisy in someone so vocal about his religion being a total stranger to the concept of Christian charity.
Jacob Rees-Mogg is representative of a particular kind of English Catholic that I find pretty repugnant as a matter of fact - a hangover from the Reformation. The novel Brideshead Revisited beautifully illustrates the type, and ostentatiously naming a string of children after popes and obscure saints is part and parcel of what he stands for.

Well-put.

Genevieve is a practicing Catholic...
She was saying that tongue in cheek...as in that is a very Catholic name so she assumed he was Catholic.
That name is pretty much as old-school Catholic as you can get in the way that Paddy O'Brien is Irish...

I know of him. From what I rememeber he was an interesting character. I am not particularly surprised at the names. The differences in number of middles, does kind of bug me. I like Peter Theodore (but I'm getting a little sick of the latter), Charles, and Alfred. I can appreciate Fitzwilliam, Wulfric, and Boniface. Alphege is a new one to me.

It reminds me of the fact that B. calls his cousin's seventh child Seven for the obvious reason. His real name is Borshay.
I think Sixtus for a sixth child is great. This site says there's a possibility, at least, that Sixtus is derived from the Latin word for "sixth". Maybe by the time you get to the sixth one you've run out of names you really care for, so why not? I tend to like old Latin names anyway.
I actually like Sixtus far more than I do Peter, Mary, Anselm, or Alfred. And Tom as a full name, although I like Thomas.
