Moxie Crimefighter
Penn Jillette’s heart was in the right place when he decided to give his daughter a unique name. “I think it’s pretty cruel to give a kid a name that others are going to have,” he once explained, adding that it’s “more friendly” to be the only kid in school with a one-of-a-kind name. Everyone knows who you are, even without your last name.
The magician jokes that his daughter’s middle name will come in handy if she ever gets pulled over. She can show her ID and let the officer know that they’re allies. Moxie’s first name is an American word that means spunk, and with a fun-loving, open-minded parent like Penn, she might just live up to it.
