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.

My dogs Jeffrey and Ghislaine
My sister named her french bulldog winston 
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 V^in^-SSS~on~ "
Named my cats stalin and trotsky. they're both ladies
Don't let them anywhere near an icepick

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.
That cat could be dressed like anyone, completely incidental. Your honor I move to strike the picture of the cat dressed as Fi- Uh as an caribbean revolutionairy- uh dressed in military fatigues from the court records
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.
But I being poor have only my dreams
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.
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.
Well that explains it. The birtish.
If I knew which emoji was the burning birtish flag I’d post that here.
Yardley
levels off the charts
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.
Mormon ass names, so incredibly white I'm actually blinded now. You blinded me Megyn 
Like we really expected a lot from someone with a cracker-assed name like mEgYn
Okay but wait what the fuck kind of name is Yardley?
AI profile
now imagine doing it ironically. Does that feel better or worse?
Can i offer you a dethatcher, perhaps?
Dethatch: (v) to kill a child of Megyn [sic]
