BORIS JOHNSON 'BELIEVES IN BREXIT' SAYS ANNUNZIATA REES-MOGG Jacob Rees-Mogg, Boris Johnson's pick for Leader of the House Commons, was speaking to Nigel Farage on LBC
previously when he said he’s never changed a nappy as “the nanny does it brilliantly”. He added: “I’ve made no pretence to be a modern man at all, ever.” His wife, Helena de Chair, has said
she’s “done” having children, and has poked fun at her brood’s odd names. RELATED ARTICLES Speaking at Tory Party Conference, she said she told her husband “there will be no Septimus and no
Octopus.” She added: “I’ve had enough — I’m 40. He wants more but it’s easy for him to say.” While Mr Rees-Mogg won’t have any new nappies to (not) change, he still has a healthy clan to
care for: Peter Theodore Alphege, Mary Anne Charlotte Emma, Thomas Wentworth Somerset Dunstan, Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam, Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius and Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher.

oldest of the Rees-Mogg clan. The Alphege part of the name is a Christian reference - the Rees-Moggs are staunchly Catholic. It was the original title for the Archbishop of Canterbury. He
was martyred in the 11th Century for refusing to pay the Danegeld, a Viking tax which villagers had to pay to prevent pillage. Mr Rees-Mogg once said of the name: “He’s a sort of tax
martyr!” Jacob Rees-Mogg children: With 'Mini-Mogg', Peter Theodore Alphege (Image: Getty) MARY ANNE CHARLOTTE EMMA, APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS OLD The least curious of the Rees-Mogg
names, little Mary is, in fact, named after Mr Rees Mogg’s three sisters: Emma, Charlotte and Annunziata Mary. THOMAS WENTWORTH SOMERSET DUNSTAN, APPROXIMATELY 9 YEARS OLD Thomas, the name
of Mr Rees-Mogg’s only brother, has an interesting collection of names. Wentworth is a reference to Charles Watson-Wentworth, the 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, who was an ancestor of his wife,
Helena. The Marquess was a notable aristocrat and Prime Minister briefly in the 1700s. He left a huge fortune and a painting of his horse hangs in the National Gallery. Somerset is a
reference to Helena’s father, Somerset de Chair, the aristocrat, poet and MP. And Dunstan is a nod to a Christian saint who was Archbishop of Canterbury in the 10th Century. Jacob Rees-Mogg

turn of the 12th Century. Helena is said to have picked this one, thinking it was a “lovely name”. Charles is after the aristocrat mentioned above, and Fitzwilliam is a nod to Charles
Watson-Wentworth’s nephew, William Fitzwilliam. Jacob Rees-Mogg children: With part of the clan (Image: Jacob Rees-Mogg/Instagram) ALFRED WULFRIC LEYSON PIUS, APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS OLD
Alfred is named after Alfred the Great, King of Wessex from 871 to 899 AD who defended his kingdom against a Viking invasion. Wulfric was the hermit saint Wulfric, born in 1080 in Compton
Martin near Mr Rees-Mogg’s Somerset home. Leyson is for Louis Leyson Rees-Mogg, an ancestor who died during World War 1 at the Battle of Gallipoli. And Pius comes from Pope Pius IX, the
longest-serving Pope after Saint Peter. Jacob Rees-Mogg children: He once famously said he’d never changed a nappy (Image: Getty) SIXTUS DOMINIC BONIFACE CHRISTOPHER, APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS
OLD The youngest of the Rees-Mogg brood, Sixtus is named for the third-century martyred Pope Sixtus II. Mr Rees-Mogg said he “likes the ambiguity” of the name Sixtus for his sixth child. The
name was originally spelt Xystus but “that seems a little bit brave even by our standards,” he admitted. Dominic and Boniface were saints, continuing with the religious theme. And
Christopher, also a famous saint, is also a family name.
