Jillette names daughter Moxie CrimeFighter
NEW YORK (AP) -- Comedian/magician Penn Jillette's latest stunt did not involve his usual sidekick, Teller: He became the father of a baby girl.
Jillette, 50, and his wife Emily, 39, welcomed Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette on Friday, according to publicist Glenn Schwartz. It was the first child for the couple, who married last year.
"We chose her middle name because when she's pulled over for speeding she can say, `But officer, we're on the same side,'" Jillette explained. "`My middle name is CrimeFighter.'"
The typically mute Teller had no comment on the new arrival.
Penn & Teller currently star in their own series on Showtime, and headline nightly in Las Vegas at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino.

Dude, I love the man, but making your daughter's name the punchline to a joke is just mean. She's gonna hate him.

Personally, I think having a first name of Moxie is pretty cool. I would never name one of my kids Moxie, but then again I'm boring as oatmeal.

Wow, that's as bad as "Heavenly Hirrani Tiger Lily" (Michael Hutchence's daughter) or chef Jamie Oliver's "Daisy Boo." In fact, that's even worse than Jason Lee's son, "Pilot Inspektor"...
