Poor kid. In so many ways.

That seriesly borders on child abuse.

[stylecouncilor]

Damn! I'll have to pick another name now!

[Question Liberal Authority]

You think that's a cute name now, but just wait until you try to find a personalized toothbrush.

[windcliff]

I wonder if she'll wear a cape.

If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was describing what an American magician had named a child in his control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime--Pol Pot or others--that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of an American in the naming of his child.

Can't people just give their newborns normal names? Molly? Donna? Charlotte?

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Some people really need to be chemically (or otherwise) castrated well before they reach puberty.

The hell this poor child will suffer because of her fathers idiocy just boggles the mind.

[pabianice]

Well, it beats their first choice: Moxie Myparentsareliberalassholes Jillette.

[eyespysomething]

Oh, you are bad.

[Guenevere]

And I thought "Apple" was a weird name for a child.

[tucker93]

That middle name reminds me of George Costanza's thought of using 6 as a name.

[Phantom Lord]

That dumbass Blossom show had a character named Six.

Actually, I'd rather be named Moxie than Molly.

Either way, she'll probably end up asking her friends to call her "Liz".

[dts32041]

Ah, it has been named after a health drink bottled in Maine, Moxie.

If any of you knew Penn, you may know that this is probably a joke of some kind.

BTW, he is one of the most conservative people in the entertainment business and did an interview for "Michael Moore Hates America." He is a genuinely nice guy.

[TFine80]

Really, didn't Penn used to be more of a libertarian? I remember that he didn't like the Clintons.

[jtminton]

I'm with you. He probably either a) didn't really do it, or b) plans on changing it.

Saw their show once. It was incredible.

He's definately one of the good guys. People should cut him some slack. And I like the idea of instilling in a girl that she can fight crime, not just be a passive victim of it. I hope to someday name a daughter T. CrimeFighter Trueblood.
