penn jillette real name? - 2008/02/10 22:38 I find it hard to believe Penn Jillette is his real name, does anyone know what his real name is or if he legally changed it? And if it is his real name, what the fuck?

Re:penn jillette real name? - 2008/02/11 01:40 Penn says that his parents thought he was going to be a girl, and they planned to name her "Penny". When he came out a boy, they named him Penn.

He's extremely proud of having a unique name, which is one of the main reasons he named his own kids Moxy and Zolten.

Re:penn jillette real name? - 2008/02/11 07:42 But Penn is a normal name in itself but mixed with Jillette? Am I the only one that sees the coicidence or irony in his name Penn Jillete and what he does for a living? It just seems like a fake name to me made for showbusiness. Not that I hate the name or anything, it's cool and so is his daughter Moxy, very cool name. Just does not sound like his real name, at least the jillette part anyway
