:rolleyes:
I’m thinking she can tell the officer, “Please have pity on me! Look at the completely idiotic name my parents saddled me with in their stupid, pathetic attempt to be cutesy!”
Moxie’s not so bad, although I guess nobody will know what it means unless they’ve studied Prohibition-era slang. 
The poor girl is going to have a complex about it for years, until she is old enough to change it to something normal. If it was you, do you think you could ever come around to a middle name like CrimeFighter and wear it with pride? When the kids at school find out her full name, she’s going to have a bad time. Her dad needs to have some sense slapped into him!
Best. Name. Ever.
That’s what Frank Zappa’s kids all did, right? :rolleyes:
Pardon me for having an opinion, then.
Heh? I’m just saying he hasn’t crippled her for life and is probably not in need of that beating. 
I think there are two types of crazy celebrity child names. There’s the really horrible ones that are just supposed to be “original” and the kid will likely hate. These are the Pilot Inspektors, the Audio Sciences, the Jermajestys, the Apples.
Then there’s something like this, which is FUNNY, and meant to be fun and funny and weird for the sake of fun rather than hip originality. He has a sense of humor about it, and kid probably will too. It’s a fun name.
Also, I think Moxie is a perfectly good first name. Even if she never uses the middle name, Moxie should serve her just fine.
Are you sure this isn’t some massive joke? Some publicity stunt? Because that’s really, really bad.
It makes Apple Blythe look good.
But it’s got Moxie! Moxie!
Aw Penn, Penn Penn…
He’s a lifelong skeptic- why didn’t he name her something like Sagan, or Bertrand-Russell, or even Teller? Save names like this for the dog. (Jillette has never done drugs or even tasted alcohol, so he can’t even blame substance abuse when she gets old enough to ask him and begin collecting material for her book.)
I think it’s cool. 
Slight hijack, but I have to comment that the following line in the article linked in the OP made me absolutely crack up:
And for the record, I don’t think Moxie is so bad a first name. There is the possibility that Penn is messing with the media on that middle name - I’d like to see the birth certificate.
But really, there have been worse.
Apple Blythe is good. There’s nothing at all wrong with the name Apple, and I can’t see why people get all up in arms over that. How is it any different to Rose, or Daisy as a name, really? Okay a fruit isn’t a flower, and maybe “Banana” would be a bit silly, but Apple is fine.
Moxie sounds kind of cool. Crimefighter is rather weird. But then my middle name is a mouthful too, and somewhat unique, though not particularly obviously strange or anything as it has cultural and familial historical signficance for me.
It’s a terrible thing to do to the kid. This is the first time I thought that it’s too bad it’s not Penn who’s the silent one.
She’s named after the best soda ever.
MAn…thats awesome.
Honestly, she’ll be fine with Moxie, it is perfectly acceptable name. Crimefighter though better than Moonblood is no prize. When she starts dressing in leather and going out to beat up wicked men – she won’t know enough to ask for money after it’s over.
What I want to know is, will the state recognize CamelCase in a name? Will they print it on her Social Security card? How many arguments will she have to get in at the DMV over that?
The gummint usually doesn’t have a problem with CamelCased name prefixes like Mc, Mac, De, Di, and so forth.
