Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette

We can just about get on board with the name 'Moxie.' It's unusual, but it isn't absurd. Poor Moxie's middle name, however, is the sort of thing that she'll never own up to unless forced to by someone inspecting her official documentation. 'CrimeFighter'. Was this an aspiration about her future profession from her parents? Were they hoping that she'd grow up to be Batgirl?

Having an unconventional name is often the product of having unconventional parents, and that's definitely the case for this thirteen-year-old. As her surname suggests, her father is the legendary magician Penn Jillette of 'Penn and Teller' fame. We bet her mother Emily Zolten sometimes wishes she'd decided to have children with Teller instead. He famously doesn't talk, and so she'd have been left in peace to come up with a sensible name.
